WHAT: Carson City School District’s McKinney-Vento Students in Transition ‘Step Into Spring’ program will provide more than 300 pairs of new shoes to pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students in transition.

Eleven schools will send representatives to collect shoes for students in need.

Big 5 Sporting Goods provides the shoes for these students every year at a generous discount.

WHEN: Monday, April 9, 20178, 10:30 to 11 a.m.
