* All purchases are online. No cash or checks will be accepted.
NEW CLOTHING DONATIONS NEEDED FOR NURSE’S OFFICE
Spills and accidents sometimes occur at school, especially with our younger students. Nurse Baker keeps extra clothing in her office for students when these incidents occur, but her supplies are running low. Currently the clinic needs girls' sweatpants with elastic waists in youth sizes.
Donated items must be new and unused and can be brought to the front office. Also, if your child has borrowed items from the clinic, please return the used items (cleaned!) to Nurse Baker.
