They will use these shoes to raise money for water filters in Third World countries in need. Water Step takes all kinds of shoes, from ice skates to your dad's old bowling shoes.  We will be collecting shoes for two weeks. 

Our goal is 400 pairs of shoes, but we will accept many more. We chose Water Step because of the gruesome facts that we hope to change. Did you know that a child dies every 15 seconds because of a lack of clean water? In some countries, mothers don't even name their children until they are one year old because the child will most likely die due to unsafe drinking water.  If you don't enjoy reading these facts, then donate your old shoes. 

The boxes are located in each grade's lead area(s). Remember, we will be collecting shoes from now until Friday, March 14th, so send your child in with some old shoes!

"I to the world am like a drop of water
That in the ocean seeks another drop."  - Antipholus

Shakespeare's preposterous farce, the rollicking, high-speed Comedy of Errors, with 

its twosets of identical twins, each twin named the same as his brother, poignantly underscores our deep longing to find our true identity - a real partnerto help defi ne ourselves and share life's journeys.

The National Youth Arts Award-winning St. Francis Drama Project proudly presents this early comedy of Shakespeare at the Goshen Campus March 21st, 25th, and 26th at 6:30, and March 23rd at 2:00 p.m.

A cast of 26 talented students play the long-separated sets of twins and servants, the parents,a duke, and a host of merchants and townspeople in the bustling port of Ephesus. There is a cosmopolitan array of ethnicity in the production's attire - Italian, Russian, Greek, Chinese, and many others mingling in commerce -  and in reverse of Shakespeare's time, there are several girls playing men. 

Shakespeare pulls out all the stops: delightful couplets, foibled characters, mistaken identities, slapstick combat, chase scenes, and of course, a wonderful closing reunion. Dromio, staring at his mirror image for the first time, finally concludes the day's raucous events:

"We came into the world like brother and brother,
And now let's go hand in hand, not one before the other."

Tickets may be reserved in advance (which is recommended!).
