Last Call for Lost & Found by 6/1 (Article)

Submitted by Peggy Lew on May 23 (last updated May 24)

Absolutely the last call to claim items in the Lost & Found by Friday, June 1st. in preparation for culminating activities.

ALL UNCLAIMED clothes will be donated to a charity. We are not keeping these unclaimed items after June 1st.

Clothes have been hung on the fence and on the rack. If you see fallen clothes, it would be great if you can help keep the area tidy. Thank you to parents who have tirelessly pitched in throughout the year to lessen the pile of clothing and to deliver bags of clothes to the needy.
