Students from Sea Isle
Elementary School
had no problem staying after school on April 24 for the
Fifth Annual Sea Isle Sock Hop, a fundraiser hosted by the
school's Parent Teachers Organization for the benefit of
SRVS.
"It's great to see how exciting this is for all the
individuals from SRVS who like to dance with our students,"
said event organizer and PTO president, Sheila Collier.
The event originated as a sock hop in order to collect socks
and undergarments needed by SRVS individuals. The
tradition has continued, and in lieu of an admission cost,
participants are asked to bring educational supplies and
arts and crafts for the individuals who attend SRVS' Day
Activity
Center. Nearly $1,200
worth of in-kind supplies was donated to the center.
The school's cafeteria was the place to be seen for many of
the students who showcased their latest
dance moves and outfits from the fifties.
Jeffrie Bruton, executive director of SRVS,
presented Sea Isle principal Teri Evans and Collier with
special stepping stones created by the individuals at SRVS.
"We always look forward to spring because we know it's time
for the Sock Hop," said Bruton. "We thank Principal
Evans and all the staff at Sea
Isle
Elementary School for
their ongoing community partnership. They realize how
important it is to provide the students and our individuals
the opportunity to socialize and interact with one another.
That is the true meaning behind this event."
