Carson City School District’s McKinney-Vento Students in Transition “Step Into Spring” program began Monday with 300 pairs of new shoes to be delivered to pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students in transition.
Students in Transition are those individuals who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.
Eleven schools sent representatives to collect shoes for students in need. The event, held at Big 5 Sporting Goods in Carson City, was made possible by generous donations from community supporters including Harley Davidson Financial Services and St. Paul’s Lutheran Family.
Big 5 Sporting Goods provides the shoes for these students every year at a generous discount.
