Birds Of A Feather

11/03/2026

Candice and I started picking up our Socktober baskets today, and I had to share this stop first. 🧦💛

At the beginning of October, the Lakeshore Elementary Student Council advisor reached out to tell me the students wanted to collect socks for our drive. Today we got to see what they collected, and look at these kids! 🥹

Thank you to the Lakeshore Elementary Student Council, their advisor, and everyone who donated. Seeing students come together to help other students is exactly what Birds of a Feather is all about.

Those “Leading Lions” sure lived up to their name! 🦁💛
