My Project

I am requesting comfortable, school appropriate clothing for those in need, whether they do not meet dress code, have an accident, or maybe they need a few shirts/pants/socks at home. Here at Lewis we strive on making our students feel at home since they are an extension of our own families, and we thrive on making sure our students are taken care of! Comfort is such a huge factor in wearing clothing; Who wants to wear something too small, too itchy, or that has milk all over it from an accidental spill? Accidents happen, and sometimes things just don't fit right and we would like to have extra clothing for our students when things do happen so they can continue to learn while being comfortable and dry. Every student has a basic right to feel secure and taken care of and we want to provide that extra helping hand.
