Diamond Fork Middle School is using a weekly tradition of wearing red shoes to promote kindness and a sense of belonging among students. According to a November 12 statement from the Nebo School District, teachers, administrators, and students wear red every Wednesday to show students that school adults are there for them.
The tradition was featured in the latest episode of Finding Nebo. During the episode, Diamond Fork administrators discussed the reasoning behind the practice and how a simple pair of shoes can make a difference. The report also noted that the school's assistant principal has a shoe collection.
