NCES PTO Spring Cleaning
Clothing Drive and More
The results are in
- NCES PTO collected 5302 lbs of clothing
and toys!
NCES PTO used clothing drive and toy drive on Friday and Saturday
April 18th and April 19th was a huge success. The turnout was
amazing. We had people bringing 7, 12, 19, 23, 30 bags at a
time. We had people driving an hour or more away to clean out
their mother or mother in laws house. We were even contacted
by an organization a few weeks prior to our event offering us
left over clothing and toys from their weekend sale. On Saturday
afternoon at around 5:15 p.m. the box truck from NJ appeared.
A group of PTO members, NCES students, teachers, the Principal
and one grandmother began loading up the truck and approximately
30 minutes later the truck was loaded and heading back to NJ
where the clothing is shipped to people in need. These items
will be shipped to places like Poland, India, Chile and so on.
The weather was perfect and the community asked just one question,
"When will you do it again?"
Special thanks goes out to the following people - Leigh Ann
& Geoff Merrill, Tori, Pat & Abby Merrill, Tammy MacDonald
and Josh & Jesse MacDonald, Tristan Heath, Miss Keilty,
Judy Blass, Brian & Noah Shippa, Marilisa & Nick Camardi,
Maribeth & Steve Kroehle. Stay tuned for the next drive
and make sure you hold on to the bags until then - Fall is just
around the corner.
On behalf of the PTO - Thank you to everyone - Parents,
Students, Teachers and friends of the community for supporting
us.
