Cool Girls "Cool Things" Drive
|
Walton PTSA Community Outreach Club Annual Cool Girls Drive Monday April 14 - Friday, April 18 Spring is in the air! We are all pulling out the shorts and putting up the sweaters! As you clean out your closets, please start collecting gently used accessories and other "cool things" for school-age girls. The Walton PTSA Community Outreach Club will collect accessories, pajamas and other items during our annual Cool Girls Drive this April. Items can be dropped off at the front office of Walton during the week of April 14-18, but if you have a bag of items that you would like to donate before then, please send an email to WaltonCO@hotmail.com and we will arrange a pick-up. We will accept accessories (like purses, hats, scarves, belts and jewelry) and pajamas for girls from kindergarten to high school (Girls 8 - XXL). Stuffed animals, picture frames, beauty items, school supplies, games, books, and room décor pieces will all be accepted. A receipt for your donation will be available for tax purposes. |

Members of the PTSA are well aware of the extraordinary contributions Walton Staff Members make on a daily basis not only to educate our children, but also to enhance their overall high school experience.
