$1-2-3 Clothing & Bargain Bike Sale is Coming!

It's almost time for our Spring $1-2-3 Clothing & Bargain Bike Sale. This BGS tradition helps you clean your closets, helps our community with low-cost clothes & bikes, and helps our school by raising funds for activities like the Brain Show.


Here's how you can help:


Drop Off Your Gently Used Clothes & Bikes- pack up those clothes, shoes, coats, and costumes. Give us your outgrown bikes. Package donations in labelled bags or boxes by size and drop them off Thursday, Mar. 14 from 4-7 PM or Friday, Mar. 15 from 9 AM - 2 PM and 4 - 7 PM. Donation receipts are available.


Help Out - We have to sort all the donations and get them organized for sale on Friday, March 15. Stop by for an hour or join us for a part of the day. It's a great way to meet BGS families and give back to the school. We can also use some volunteers for the day of the sale. Sign up for a shift here: http://bit.ly/SpringClothesHelp Can't help out but want to help us advertise? Print out the flyer below and post it around town in laundromats, bulletin boards, or anywhere you think might have an interest!


Shop for Deals - You never know what deals you may find during our sale on Sat., March 16 from 9 AM - 1 PM in the BGS Gym. Some clothes are even donated with the price tags still attached. Most clothes are $1, 2, or 3 and bikes are generally $10 and up. Cash, check & credit card will be accepted.
