Gotta be the shoes: Brightwood School students in Springfield receive Nikes in memory of ‘sneakerhead’ Peyton Smith

SPRINGFIELD Besides a quality education and balanced meals every day, some students have other needs that can often go unnoticed, like shoes that fit just right and haven’t been handed down from siblings or cousins.
“We often see children who have to share shoes with their siblings or will wear the same pair of shoes year after year even if they are worn out. There is definitely a need for some of our families,” said Jose Escribano, principal at Brightwood Elementary in Springfield.
FLORENCE â The Listerhill Foundation relaunched its Kicks For Kids program recently with the announcement that it will be providing a new pair of brand name shoes to each child at Harlan Elementary School in Florence. The program began in January of 2020, but had to be put on hold because of COVID-19.Â
Harlan Elementary School principal, Dr. Thomas Casteel, is delighted. He explained, âThis is a tremendous reward for our pupils who have overcome so much this year. They will now have a pair of shoes to carry them through the summer which can be a particularly vulnerable time for many kids.â The shoe drop will take place next month in partnership with California-based, Shoes That Fit. Since their founding in 1992, Shoes That Fit has provided over 2 million pair of shoes to children across the US.Â
