Last week, Castro Elementary students received a special gift: new shoes provided by the nonprofit organization Wholly Kicks, as well as the Denver Police Department.
“At Castro, we are always looking for ways to help out our families in the community. This event was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be and that’s great. We are always looking out for the best interest of our students and families,” said Eve Ulloa, Parent/Community Liaison for DPS.
Over 130 pairs of shoes were handed out to excited DPS students.
“Students will pick out their own pair of shoes, go back to class and then go home and show mom and dad their sweet new pair of shoes,” said Tyg Taylor, Founder and Executive Director of Wholly Kicks.
