Sneaker and Shoe Drive
The Rotary Club of the Brookfields and Tantasqua Student Council collaborated with Planet Aid
Jake Rosen, a member of the Brookfield Rotary Club and a student of Tantasqua Regional High School played an important role in organizing and running the sneaker and shoe drive at the school, in which new and used sneakers and shoes are collected to either be regifted or recycled for construction projects. To this end, the drive aims to deplete environmental destruction through the 43 years that sneakers normally spend in a landfill. This year, two car trunks worth of sneakers and shoes were collected!
We are looking forward to another successful drive next year!
