SPRINGFIELD — Besides a quality education and balanced meals every day, some students have other needs that can often go unnoticed, like shoes that fit just right and haven’t been handed down from siblings or cousins.
“We often see children who have to share shoes with their siblings or will wear the same pair of shoes year after year even if they are worn out. There is definitely a need for some of our families,” said Jose Escribano, principal at Brightwood Elementary in Springfield.
