Uniform Exchange
To serve the families at our school, we have started an “uniform exchange closet”. At anytime during the year, families are welcome to drop off uniforms that no longer fit their child. Families can also “purchase” uniform pieces with their parent involvement card.
Uniforms must be:
- washed
- no holes or tears
- no stains
- zippers and buttons in good working order
The uniform exchange closet is overseen by the 4th grade students.
They will decide during the school year specific times of donation and selling.
