Got any shoes you don't wear anymore?
Please bring these shoes, boots, sandals, sneakers, etc. because upstairs at the Dexter High School is a collection box for new, or gently used shoes.
FBLA is collecting them to be used as a fundraiser for Cy, Luke, Henley and Mrs. Guy to go to the National Leadership Conference this summer.
Future Business Leaders of America can accept adult and kids shoes, so ask your family if they have any they wish to donate.
There will also be donation boxes next week at the other buildings on the Dexter campus and the drive runs from now to June 14th.
