Putnam County High School Interact students annually team up with the Unionville Rotary Club to collect shoes that are distributed by Buckner International around the world to children who need them.  This year our shoes will go primarily to the Dominican Republic.  All funds raised will be used to purchase new shoes for needy children.  

Goals:

1. Provide an extended time for parents to go out on a date night.  

2. Provide high-quality childcare for PC Elementary students who are already attending the PTO fundraiser dance.

When:  Friday, March 20 from 7:30 p.m. (end of PTO dance) to 10:30 p.m. (Event has been canceled for now as of March 16, 2020)

Where:  Putnam County Elementary Gym

Who:  Mr. Jeremy Watt (Interact sponsor) and approximately 10 high school Interact students will provide childcare for up to 30 P.C. Elementary students who have attended the dance.  Sign-ups and payment will be at the door to the PTO dance (begins @ 6 p.m.) and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Why:  We are raising money for our annual Shoe Drive to help needy children, AND we want to provide a nice opportunity for parents to have a date night!

Cost:  $15 per child ($5/hour)

* Students must be in good health at the time of sign-up.  If there are any updates regarding COVID-19 we will keep you posted.
