Health Office Needs donation
The items needed are:
Girls underware size 6 and up
Girls socks - all sizes
Girls leggings/sweats - they are the easiest to get on/off. Size 6 and up. Black is the best as it will match anything
Girls tops - long sleeves for now. Size 6 and up
Boys underware size 6 and up
Boys socks - all sizes
Boys sweatpants size 12 and up. Again Black is great but they are not quite as fussy
Boys shirts size 8 and up - short or long sleeve
