Have you all heard of this? If not check it out. I was sent an email about offering this competition to our students. So, I did. This is what their Facebook page says...There is a powerful saying people use to express their appreciation for each other’s strengths and what differences they bring to the table. The saying is “Stronger Together.” In October of 2020, Eduardo Gonzalez Loumiet (CEO of RUVOS) decided that he wanted to impact the lives of children near and far, using shoes as the focus. But how? He knew there were complex community issues needing support and awareness, but he was only one person. He then invited a diverse group of individuals and business owners to a table to share their expertise and ideas. Chirag Shah (The Current Agency), Jim Sherwood (The Canvas Project), Juan Vasquez (Ruvos), and Morgan Evers (Finacious) each arrived willing and ready to play a part. It was then The Kicks Collective came into reality. All five members are committed to working collectively to make an impact on arts, culture, and community by harnessing the power of shoes.
As of now, this is the UPDATE:
Update: We're excited to announce that we have received over 400 submissions for our shoe design contest! 
Because of that, we will be pushing our announcement for the winner to Monday, February 22nd. We want to properly go through each submission and decide who moves on to the final round. Be on the lookout for the next announcement on how to vote. Folks, we have some talented kids in our community. You should be proud! (The sunflower shoe was the winner)
Below are works in progress!
The above is Peyton's submission! Pretty cool, right? She is in 10th grade at our school.
