A treat for the feet
Ronald Banks, 10, a student at Amelia Earhart Elementary in Lafayette, tries on his new pair of shoes from Purdue University's National Youth Sports Program. Banks was one of 300 children who received a pair of athletic shoes on Wednesday (June 30). The shoes were a gift from Jan and Ken Bootsma of Tippecanoe County. Jan is owner of A Storage Inns in Lafayette and Ken is a former principal of Lafayette Christian School. The National Youth Sports Program camp, which runs through July 23, focuses on healthy living by encouraging children, ages 10-16, to eat right and engage in physical activity through sports. Math, science and writing also were added to the program's activities this year. Children are referred to the program by their Tippecanoe County schools. (Purdue News Service photo/David Umberger)
