Attention Students!

Today I met with Richard Montgomery High School principal, Dr. McLeod, to discuss the possibility of the students to leave the school grounds during their lunch period and participate in the "One Day Without Shoes" walk. He was very receptive to the idea and, in fact, he encouraged it. However, he cannot allow students to leave the campus without parental permission.
Students attending Richard Montgomery High School just need to visit http://tinyurl.com/cnmsn9 and download the permission form, have it signed and returned to the main office before you leave school on Thursday. We, also, have a permission slip available to students who attend Clarksburg High School http://bit.ly/bcB6Q.
A handwritten note signed by your parent works just as well.

Students attending other schools can simply have their parents write a note permitting them to participate.

How can you help?

Recently I was asked a very simple question by a friend, "How can I help?" I've got the easy to do answer.

• First and foremost make sure you attend the walk!
• Second invite all your friends and family (via Facebook, Twitter, email, texts, word of mouth, etc.).
  
• Third put up posters for the walk coming up in 3 days!! Follow this link http://i44.tinypic.com/5kg7zp.jpg, download the image, print out lots of copies of the flyers and post them all over, in your house, in the local library, on a public bulletin board (Panera, Starbucks, and Giant Supermarkets among others often have these). Be creative! Let us know either through email at onedaywithoutshoesmd@gmail.com or on our Twitter @RockBarefoot of your efforts.
• Fourth buy a pair of TOMS shoes or wrap boots. For every pair you buy, TOMS gives a pair away to a person in need. One for One. Ecomony got you down? Use the promo code: CAMPUSHTS and recieve $5 off your order. Just a little something for being so great!

I can't wait to see you all this Thursday at 11am. Bring a friend or two with you a come prepared to walk barefoot. We will have a bin out so if you do come with shoes you can leave them in the bin and it will be magically transported via car to our ending destination.

Happy posting,

New Twitter Name

Hey Guys & Gals,

The walk it coming up very soon! In only 6 days we'll be out there in Rockville. I can't believe it, I am so excited and hope you are too! I want to let you all know that we have a new twitter name @RockBarefoot, there was a little bit of conflict with the user name because it was too broad and TOMS was planning on using that Twitter user name for the whole One Day Without Shoes event. Sorry for the inconvenience, for those of you already following us on Twitter you will still get updates and you don't have to change a thing.

Peace,
Mike

TOMS has a new website

Hi Guys & Gals,

TOMS Shoes just released their new website into the wild. I think it is much cleaner and sleeker with bigger picture previews of their products. It is really a joy to use. Go check it out: http://www.tomsshoes.com. While you are there why not buy a pair or two of TOMS they have many styles for men, women and children (think velcro), you will be helping a person in need. If shoes are your thing they have shirts and hats too, they even have skateboards through a partnership with Element! Use the code: CAMPUSHTS and get $5 off.

More details to come about the walk once they are worked out, keep checking back or just subscribe to our feed. Thanks you guys are awesome! I couldn't be doing this without you. =D
