Bring gently used, like-new condition uniform pieces to swap. Remember these items will be worn, as new, by other students. Please launder all items beforehand, and cull any stained, painted, or ripped clothes. Don't have anything to swap? That's okay, it's a uniform take as well!

If you are not able to attend, you may drop acceptable items, bagged at the front of the school today or this evening. They will remain there until the start of the swap tomorrow morning.
