I don't want to ask parents as I want them before school starts. Teachers already ask parents to buy too much stuff. I am not going to buy 10 pair of shoes. Shoe stores won't give them away- I've tried. Any ideas?

Do you have a Cato clothing store in your area? I was just there yesterday and they were getting in a shippment of shoes. They put their shoes out on a rack and throw the boxes away. I'm sure they would give you what they had if you told them it was for a school. Good luck. Also maybe try a Doller General/Family Dollar type of store. Sometimes they sell the plastic ones in packs of 3 for $2.

Even going to a dollar store and paying a dollar is too much? Wal Mart sells these type boxes for even less than a dollar. Plastic. Long lasting. Great for storage and stacking. Space saving in your classroom, too. Otherwise you can spend a lot and time and gas driving around trying to get your donations from shoe stores I suppose. How do you want to make the best use of your few days of summer left before teaching?

Well, most parents buy their kids new shoes for school, so if you wait, you could get some from parents. Have you tried asking employees at walmart? My local walmart has been very supportive of needs for my classroom.
