The Whitehall Middle School Environmental Club is sponsoring a Nike Reuse-A-Shoe Drive for recycling until Nov. 4.
The club is collecting old athletic shoes, of any brand, at each school building. The goal is to collect 500 pairs of shoes.
Nike will pay for the shipping, and upon receipt, they will break the shoes apart into their component parts and recycle them into the materials to make running tracks and the padding underneath basketball and tennis courts.
There are donation boxes in the offices of all of the Whitehall district抯 school buildings if community members would like to donate shoes. Parents can send old shoes to school with their children. Any shoes collected that are non-athletic or still usable, will be donated to Goodwill.
