About Us

The purpose of the Shoe Club is to inspire and motivate students to invest in themselves and others. The Shoe Club will provide opportunities through projects and activities to gain essential life skills including confidence, leadership and a positive attitude.

The Shoe Club is a club for students who want the best for themselves and others. It takes courage to stand up for what you believe in and what you think is right. The concept of shoes is simple, we all need to remember to "walk in each other's shoes" and not be so quick to judge. This isn't a club for someone who never makes a mistake. It is for people who accept responsibility for their actions and are moving forward in a postive direction. Students who want to be a part of this club must meet certain requirements which show that they are serious and committed to being a positive role model. As a member of the Shoe Club, your shoe will hang in Mr. Hamilton's classroom for years to come as a reminder to others that everyone has a story. Students who want to be a part of this club must meet certain requirements which show that they are serious and committed to being a positive role model. We all have the power to have a positive impact on the world.

How to Join & Membership

Seventh Graders

You must read Value Up by Mike Donahue. After reading, you must share your thoughts and opinions on the book. What did you learn? How did it affect you? How did it change your thinking? How will you act differently based on what you learned? You may do this by writing a poem or paper, making a video, meeting with Mr. Hamilton or a different agreed upon method.
Type a half page paper sharing your Dreams / Goals. You should have at least 10 goals. (Start each one with "I Will"). Make sure you make a copy for Mr. Hamilton and yourself.
