PA President Keri Landeiro and PA Treasurer Stephanie Rivera provided parents of PS153 with free, donated used uniforms from others in the community. The giveaway was held during the Back to School Bash that PS153 hosted in the yard.
Thank you for your donations! 256 items were collected in the prior school year, including coats and a few other clothing items outside of uniforms.
We plan to continue our clothing drive twice a year. Parents interested in either donating their gently used uniforms or requested a donated uniform should contact the PA for more info.
