It is so expensive to buy winter apparel for growing children each year! I was fortunate my children were born after many cousins. They have several aunts who passed along outgrown clothing and a grandmother whose favorite hobby is shopping. She loved that things were passed along and used it as an excuse to shop at really nice stores so clothes would last through several grandchildren. As a young mom, I always appreciated receiving costly winter coats, boots and snow pants.
Sweetsir students love to play in the snow at recess, but may only do so if they have all the winter gear listed in the "High Five Rule." Therefore, for the first three weeks of November we will be having a special 'Swap and Take' table in the front lobby. Everyone is welcome to participate! If you like to save money and recycle, feel free to take something from the table. If you have gently used winter coats, snow pants or boots to share, just leave them in the lobby. Anything left over will be donated to a local charity over Thanksgiving Break.
High Five Rule:
Students may play in the snow at recess only if they have all of the following:
1) Winter Coat 2) Snow Pants 3) Boots 4) Hat 5) Mittens or Gloves
