Toms Style Your Sole Event – May 18th

Toms Style Your Sole event Saturday, May 18th at Casa Authentique, downtown on Walnut. This is a fundraiser to help Wylie’s DI teams attend Global competition in Knoxville, TN. Basically, people buy shoes, and you paint them. If you have never done anything like that, please don’t feel pressured. It really isn’t as scary as you may think! It is actually a lot of fun. Trust me! Be willing to try something creative and fun. It is an easy and fun event. The owner of Casa has offered to donate a portion of the Toms purchased that day for painting towards the DI teams as well! Art students who volunteer can also earn community service hours. We really NEED your help and support! For more information: ktrumble@wylie.esc14.net
