FIT FOR THE CURE!
March 4th -
Carla Worsham, from Dillards is coming and bringing all sizes of Waacoal bras. She will also provide a free fitting. If you try on a bra, Waacoal will donate $2 to Breast Cancer Foundation. If you buy the bra, Waacoal will donate another $2!
She normally brings refreshments and there’s a gift with purchase. Purchases will not be posted until March 7th. She will only be here for about 2 hours. Mrs. Worsham will be set up in the nurses office from 8:45 - 10:45ish (for privacy) Because this shopping experience would give students "something to talk about" NO STUDENTS ALLOWED and the interior doors in the nurses office will be closed and locked so that students can't see. The restroom in the nurses office will be available for extra privacy for fitting and trying on items. If this time is not during your conference time, and you would like to attend, please get with Lisa to arrange for someone to cover your class.
