Lost & Found
The Lost and Found bin was emptied and washed before the holidays. There were three large lawn bags full of clothing items. Most of these largely name brand items did not have any identification on them were washed and donated. Current uniform items with no identification were placed in the Clothing Closet. If there was a name, or initials, the item is with Stacy Adams in the Receiving Office. She will be attempting to return these items to their owners. Moving forward, the lost and found bin will be emptied the last Friday of each month. Please check the bin regularly and make sure to put your child's name on everything. BIG THANKS to Lori Carr for washing all the clothes!
