K-6 Uniform Closet

We are in need of more shoes and belts for our K-6 grade uniform closet. It is helpful to have extras on hand for students to borrow when they forget to wear a belt or bring their shoes in the winter. Do you have any gently used uniform shoes or belts that your child has outgrown? These items can be placed in the uniform cabinet by Mr. Adkins’ office along with borrowed belts and shoes that have not been returned yet. Thank you!  Questions? Contact Rose Coleman.
