Clinton Elementary School teacher Sarah Rhea poses with the Student Teacher Education Association’s sock donations for students.
Clinton Elementary School students will get 843 pairs of new socks from a Roane State Community College student club.
“Our very own students have noticed that children in the classes they are observing do not have socks that fit them properly, or do not have socks at all,” Associate Professor of Education and Student Tennessee Education Association sponsor Stacie Bradshaw in a news release.
“Our hope was to help as many students as possible now that colder weather is here. We want to thank everyone who helped us reach that goal by donating to this project.”
The STEA is a club for RSCC students interested in learning about teaching as a career. It also does a service project each year, such as this one, to help kindergarten through 12th-grade students in East Tennessee. The community college students collected the socks at donation bins on all of the RSCC campuses in October.
Bradshaw said that while people frequently donate shoes, socks are not as common, but are still needed.
