Gently Used Uniform Sale Raises $2,255 for Financial Aid
Posted September 3, 2010
Over two days this week, sales of gently used uniforms helped replenish many students’ wardrobes and raised $2,255 for the school’s Financial Aid fund.

Special thanks to the Parents’ Association Community Service Committee, which runs the sales, and to all of our families who contributed uniform items for which they no longer had a use.
