Ryan Spitzer collects, delivers gym shoes to Thorncliffe PS

Ryan Spitzer of Hanna Rd. has collected and delivered, with the help of the community, 125 pairs of donated washed and cleaned gym shoes to Thorncliffe Park Public School this week. The shoe drive is in its 6th year and helps ensure kids from kindergarten through grade five are ready to play. His task required ingenuity during the C-19 pandemic because schools were not available to collect and hold shoes. Instead, public-spirited people were asked to deliver the shoes to the Spitz front porch.
