Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) Superintendent Michael J. Martirano and Bright Minds Foundation invite you to join us in getting socks to Howard County children and families in need.
Socks are a crucial piece of clothing for children and families in need. They can serve as essential items to help children and families stay engaged in schools, jobs, and our community. They can also risk contributing to social shame, embarrassment, and isolation. They are the single most requested, but least donated item at homeless shelters. Socks are that important.
The Martirano Super Sock Drive will collect new socks and monetary donations and work alongside HCPSS staff and community organizations to distribute the socks to those who need them. Dr. Martirano, whose name has become synonymous with his often-flashy socks, wanted to launch this effort to help students receive this essential item needed to thrive in and out of the classroom. Dr. Martirano donated $4,000 to launch the campaign after recently receiving the prestigious Tom Cookerly Exceptional School Superintendent Leadership Award from the National Center for Children and Families.

Thank you for your support for Howard County children and families!
