Thanks Monica! I run the middle school care closet which provides anything that a student could need to turn their day around. But right now we have a size 6 women’s medium uniform that needs to be covered for an 8th grader brave enough to say We can’t afford it. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Thank you for letting help clear the list for my middle graders care closet. Right now we have an urgent need for women sizes skorts for her to have by orientation next week and so am dropping polos off for embroidering ($7.95 each) as fast as they come in. Can you all please help a titch more?

Angry Supporters, we have one more urgent need for women’s size skorts for uniforms for orientation and the long sleeve polos are on sale which is more affordable for me to pay the 7.95 per polo to complete these for the kids. You guys have all done so much but can you clear a little more?
Growing Brave (@growingbrave.bsky.social) reply parent
I dropped off 14 polos to be embroidered yesterday and pay those at pick up so if there is a way we can get the long sleeve polos covered and I can do it at once for a deal, that would be great

The thing about science is when it works, people don't realise it because it just eliminates the problem. Take quicksand. In the 80s it was a HUGE issue, it was everywhere.
