👟 Upward Community — we need your help! 💚

Now through the end of June, we’re collecting new and gently used shoes of all sizes and styles — both kids and adults!

Your donated shoes will:
✨ Help support microbusinesses in developing nations
✨ Provide funding back to Upward for every pair donated

Drop-offs can be made at any of these amazing community partners:
📍 FitClub
📍 Carolina Ace Hardware
📍 Efitness

Please share this post, spread the word, and reach out with any questions! 🙌👟🦅

👟 Shoe Drive Alert! 👟

Upward is collecting new and gently used shoes now through the end of the school year! This is a wonderful way to raise money for our school, support micro‑businesses in developing nations, and recycle shoes that still have life left in them. 💚🌍

After the school year ends, we’ll be reaching out to our amazing community for donations. If you’re a local business and would be willing to serve as a drop‑off location for a few weeks, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact us at [email protected].

📣 Help us spread the word — tell your friends and family! Thank you for supporting Upward and making a difference. 📣

We've got so many amazing teachers at Upward Elementary School! Let's see some of them nominated!

We've got a new contest for the kiddos... for the TEACHERS!🍎 Have your kids nominate their FAVORITE K-5 teacher for a chance to win a gift for their teacher from REID & REID!

We know it's been a long year and we appreciate all the teachers and all they do for the kids and our community!
