Clothing to Cash

Have your children outgrown any of their clothes?  Do you need to clean out some of your clothes to make room for new ones?  Drop the stuff you don't need in the white bin in our school parking lot (put them in a plastic bag first and tie it up).  Our PTA earns money for each pound of clothing donated.  In December, the PTA earned $137.50. The PTA uses these funds to support a number of special programs for your children. 

You can donate clothing, footwear, bed linens, towels, accessories (handbags, backpacks, gloves, scarves), and stuffed animals.  Bag the items, tie the bag, and place it in the white bin.
