From February 26-March 8, the Boylan community collected a total of 251 pairs of shoes to benefit a local nonprofit.
Boylan was only one of many organizations taking part in the city-wide shoe drive, spearheaded by Life Decisions, a local nonprofit centered around supporting at-risk youth in Rockford. The shoes will go to the less fortunate in communities in need all over the world, and the revenue earned from the Shoe Drive partner, Shoes2U, will allow Life Decisions to continue its lifechanging mentorship program in our community.

Huge thank you to all who participated in this effort, and a special thank you goes to the students and staff members who worked so hard to make the drive a success. The effort was led by senior Felicity Magana, assisted by Kayden Schultz, Abraham Alvarado, Ryan Godin, Austin Alonso, Philip Dixon, and Steven Ezeofor. Way to make an impact, Titans!
