Clothing Closet for Our Elementary Students

Funded Aug 26, 2021

Thank you again for donating to my clothing closet this school year. The blue polo shirts have been a big help. With supply shortages, I had many students who could not find this specific color to wear. I was able to supply a 4th grade student with a few shirts when his teacher noticed he kept wearing the same uniform shirt over and over. When I asked him why he was wearing the same shirt and why it was dirty, he said it was the only one he had.

Thank you again for the shoes. I had a couple of students this past month who had shoes that were falling apart. One of the students had the sole falling off, when I asked about it, the student mentioned it was his only pair. His aunt bought it for him at the beginning of the school year and mom could not afford to buy him another pair.

Lastly, thank you for the jackets. We're starting to see the first cold days on winter down here in the south and I'm sure I'll have more student coming to my classroom looking for a way to keep warm. As I was typing this, I had a teacher knock on my door. A student of hers came to school without a jacket and they were heading out to recess. It's probably in the high 50 outside right now and all he had on was a light basketball shirt.

Thank you again from the bottom of my hear!”

With gratitude,
