Nurse Anne organizing a clothing drive for big Brothers and Big Sisters. This drive is going to be different in that it will be for both clothing exchange and clothing donation. Bring clothes that you have outgrown but are still in good shape and sort them according to male/female, pants, jackets, shirts, etc. Label the bags before you bring them in (a black marker works on plastic bags). The  clothes will be in the gym after school on Thursday the 14th and students can sort through them for anything they might want. You can even go in the locker room to try them on if you need to. Thank Dale for this great idea. It will be like a free shopping spree!
We need students volunteers to help with the open house this Thursday, February 7th from 6:30 to 8 pm.

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.  Â
