Bradleyville High School Principal Bob Comer says Bradleyville and Taneyville students have received new shoes in the past, but this is the first time for a combined distribution. 

The shoes come from Dryer’s Boots and Shoes in Springfield.  State Representative Lyle Rowland presented a resolution from the General Assembly to owner Dale Dryer, who has now provided more than two-thousand pairs of shoes to students in kindergarten through high school.

Along with the shoes, the foundation handed out grants totaling more than $195,000 to 26 schools and charitable organizations.  Donations from the Roy W. Slusher Foundation now total more than $5.1 million.
