Nike: Service Learning Project


Watch Your Kicks Make a Comeback!
 Service Learning Project
The 7th Grade class is doing a service learning project to give back to other communities in need. They need your help to reach their goal. The Nike Shoe Drve programs helps build sports areas for communities in need. Nike Grind Rubber, made from the shoe's outsole, is used in track surfaces, interlocking gym flooring tiles, playground surfacing and even new Nike products, such as the outsoles of the Nike Pegasus or the Jordan XX3. It’s also used in trim items like buttons and zipper pulls. Nike Grind Foam, made from the shoe's midsole, is used as a cushion for outdoor basketball and tennis courts, as well as futsal fields. Nike Grind Fiber, made from the shoe's fabric upper, is used in the creation of cushioning pads for facilities like indoor synthetic courts and wood courts. So clean out your closets and put those shoes to work. It may come back to our community or another community throughout the country. They have collected 28,00,000 shoes globally since 1990. Our goal is 500 pairs! All you have to do is bring in your old sneakers and the 7th grade class and Nike will do the rest! Donations will be accepted in Mrs. Spakes and Ms. Dunnes room and in a bin in the lobby until the end of the year. The website for further info ishttp://www.nikereuseashoe.com/
Remember: WORN OUT. PLAY ON. TURN YOUR OLD SPORTS SHOES INTO PLACES TO PLAY.
