WINSTON-SALEM — Students at St. Leo School in Winston-Salem wrapped up their “Socktober” fundraiser Oct. 31. They collected nearly 5,500 pairs of socks for victims of the recent hurricanes.
Socks are the most needed item but are the most rarely donated, so to alleviate this problem students collected socks throughout October.
The class that collected the most each week won a cupcake party.
The first week winners were the first-graders (who collected the pile pictured above), the second week winners were the fourth-graders, and the final week winners were the sixth-graders.
