Finally, as the weather start to turn cooler, the number of lost and unclaimed pieces of outwear grows huge. Please take a moment to label all items with your student's name or initials. Unlabeled items that go unclaimed for more than a couple of weeks are donated to charity. I frequently use Morning Meeting time to hold up found items...often with no one claiming them. Such is the fate of many a gray or pink hoodie!
Have a great week.
Best,
Thelma
