The Harbor & Change

"What leadership trip did you go on?" So a few hand-picked student from our school (WHS) got to go on a life-changing (some would argue) experience. Twenty of us got the privilege to go to Sayreville War Memorial High School to listen and interact with the amazing Mike Smith. This "professional teenager" -as he would call himself- talked to us on life, the good and bad. He talked to us about his experiences and little things we can do to make an impact on our generation. 

With the fashion club that we have started to create at our school, Mike Smith inspired the other members and I to start a drive as simple as socks. We need socks. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Every sock we collect (goal 100 socks- to start) and give it to the homeless. Smith does this with his skate for change non-profit. What he and many others do is skate around towns and cities and they give socks to the homeless. He explained that if you ever were to see a homeless person's foot, you would understand. Just imagine wearing the same sock, the same shoe, through all different weather conditions and all different climates.. rough, we get it. But we can change that! Something so small can impact a person's entire life. So this will be our task- a simple act of kindness. The task is this: any extra pairs of socks you have: YOU GIVE. 

This week also for the fashion club we will be starting 'Look of the Week' which I am very excited for! We will be taking pictures of some students and on Friday all of the members will meet and we'll hand pick a person and their picture will be posted on our bulletin board for the following week and a blog post on their outfit will be here too, every Saturday!

Big week this week and if anyone has any ideas, feel free to let us know! Don't forget: Meetings every Tuesday in the media center at 7:30!!! Tell your friends! 

To find out more about our sock drive stop by into the media center or ask one of our members!

You do not have to dress nice every-day in order to be in this club, we are just trying to do drives with clothing and get people together that enjoy the same thing, we'd love to see you there! 

"Let's make it happen!"
