O’Plaine School sock drive:

O’Plaine Elementary School in Gurnee, in conjunction with the Student Service Council, is sponsoring a drive called Socks for the Soul. The sock drive is to help those who receive food from local pantries. It will begin with an afternoon dance Jan. 30 and run through the first week of March. Students and teachers will be encouraged to leave socks at the front of the school in a drop box. The school serves grades three through five at 333 N. O’Plaine Road behind Gurnee village hall.
