Before we donate the Lost and Found items, we are asking parents to claim their children's belongings. All Lost and Found items will be donated on February 1st.
Donation Request
If your child has outgrown their clothes, please consider donating your clothes (shirts, shorts, pants, etc) to Sandlapper’s Health Room. Frequently, accidents occur at school requiring a change of clothes. For those who have received clothing from the health room, please wash the clothes and return them so we can have clothes when another child needs them.
Parents of kindergarten students, you provided clothing at the beginning of the year. The clothing provided at the beginning of the year may not fit your child now and may not be appropriate for cooler weather. Please send in clothing that will fit your child during this season.
