Uniform Resale provides Financial Assistance
 
It's a two-fer!!!!  By donating uniforms you can no longer use, you declutter your closets and help provide financial assistance for a student.  Last school year's donations provided assistance for five St. Francis families!  Beginning on May 10th we will accept clean, gently used uniforms that you have either outgrown, never used, or just won't need in college. Collection bins will be located in the hallways through June 11th. The uniform resale will be held during the book test on July 6th. For questions, please contact Gail Talley,
