At this point in the school year we have run out of loaner clothes of students who've had bathroom accidents. We prefer parents bring clean clothes for their student when an accident occurs or better yet, a change of clothing kept in the backpack saves time for everybody. Donations of gently used shorts and pants would be greatly appreciated. We prefer to use brand new, fresh out of the package undies. If you're at the store and can afford to pick up a 3 pack to donate, that would also be greatly appreciated.

Dad’s Clubs are becoming more popular these days, and even a few of our community schools have already jumped on the Dad’s Club bandwagon. If you are interested, please contact David Keely at
