Christian Pennington, a fourth grade student at Jana, mentioned the shoe drive to his father, the Rev. Charles Pennington, pastor at Bethel Providence Christian Church in Florissant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur church routinely collects shoes and clothing as part of our outreach ministry, so when my son mentioned that the school was putting together a shoe drive, it was a natural fit,\u201d Pennington said. \u201cFor the shoes and clothes we collect, we work with Share My Kickz. I talked to their CEO, and here we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pennington also serves on the HSD Heroes advisory board. HSD Heroes is a District-wide program developed to increase the adult presence in Hazelwood schools through volunteer service.<\/p>\n<p>The combined donation from the Bethel Providence Christian Church and Share My Kickz amounted to 300 pairs of shoes, giving Jana\u2019s Student Ambassadors 694 pairs of shoes to donate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an unexpected collaboration on this shoe drive and it turned out great,\u201d said Karla Holland, school social worker and advisor for the Student Ambassadors.\u00a0\u201cThank you to Pastor Pennington and his congregation and to Share My Kickz. We really appreciate their support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project demonstrates just what students are capable of when we give them the opportunity, support and guidance,\u201d said Sheilah Fitzgerald, Jana principal. \u201cAn activity like this helps students build character, leadership skills and a sense of responsibility \u2013 all important traits to becoming successful adults. We\u2019re so proud of them!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Share My Kickz is a non-profit organization that collects shoes for residents at domestic violence shelters. Rhonika Jones is the group\u2019s CEO and founder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a non-profit organization that collects shoes for residents at domestic violence shelters,\u201d Jones explained. \u201cWe are happy to help Jana students with such an important project.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jana Elementary recently wrapped up its shoe drive for the Shoeman Waterman Project, which collects donated shoes, new or gently used, and exports the shoes to street vendors in places like Haiti, Kenya and South America.
