If your house is anything like ours, it has been inundated with "stuff" over the last several weeks. The holiday season brought gifts aplenty, but it also brought the occasions that the kids needed to dress
up for—and that meant sport coats and dress pants that I was horrified to find no longer fit my lanky, growing boys.
If you, like me, have developed a little mountain of these items that no longer fit, please consider bringing them to the uniform exchange closet! They will make fabulous additions for our community as we all search for these expensive and under-utilzed pieces of clothing in our children's wardrobes. With band concerts and LS and MS graduations there is always a need!
In a similar recycle, reduce, reuse vein, hats off to Beth Fisher, who prior to winter break, chaired an off-the-page graduation dress exchange, where a full 1/3 of our senior girls were able to score a gown for their big day in June.
The uniform exchange closet is located just down the hall from the nurse's office and with no door, is open anytime you might wish to pop in. Purge away and bring a bag of stuff to donate and fill it back up with stuff to fit your growing brood!
