Dear Parents and Families,

I hope this message finds you well! I’m reaching out to let you know that I’m collecting gently used kids' clothing to make available for our students on campus. If you have any items you'd like to part with, I would truly appreciate it if they could be washed beforehand. This way, our students can find essentials that will help them feel comfortable and confident.

Every little bit helps, whether it’s casual wear, school outfits, or cozy winter essentials. Any items can be dropped off at the front office or with me, Ms. Castillo. 😊
Thank you so much for your support!

Warm regards,
Berenice Castillo,
