FY24 Student and Family Handbook
Homecoming or Prom Donations
We are currently accepting lightly worn party dresses and suits for homecoming or prom to be donated for students that may have a need for homecoming this year. Please clean out your closets so that students that may not be able to purchase a suit or dress will be able to feel their best at homecoming this year. Students can contact me anonymously and set an appointment time to go shopping in the closet. All we will ask is that they clean the garment and return it after homecoming for someone else to borrow.
Donations can be brought to the front office, room 12, 107, or let me know and I can have students pick them up from a class room. We are also in need of a full length mirror so the students can see how beautiful they look when they try on the garments.
Thank you so much !
