Beadle Lake Elementary School's Undy 500

Beadle Lake Elementary worked together to Learn responsibly, Encourage Kindness, Act respectfully, Demonstrate safety (LEAD), and directly help other elementary students affected by hurricanes Helene and Milton. BLE joined the Great Kindness Challenge to collect youth-size socks and underwear to help meet critical needs and to give comfort to other elementary school students. The Undy 500 Drive set a goal to collect 500 items to be donated. 

Due to overwhelming support from BLE students, families, staff, and community members, the goal of receiving 500 items was surpassed by over 500! 623 pairs of socks and 474 pairs of underwear, for a total of 1,097 items were collected! BLE students attached messages of love and encouragement to each package of socks and undies. The 72-pound box was mailed to Asheville, North Carolina last week. 

This incredible act of generosity showcases the power of kindness and community, proving that together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and live as LEADer's
