Students of John L. Colbert Middle School celebrate their new shoes, courtesty of Rock City Kicks.

Last week a Fayetteville school bus pulled into the parking lot of Rock City Kicks on Township Avenue. On board, Dr. Mary Collins, an ESL teacher at John L. Colbert Middle School and 13 of her students. The students’ mission? To pick out any pair of sneakers inside the store at no cost to them or the school district.
