Labeling Clothing
As the weather gets colder and layers pile on, it is easy for clothing to get lost or mixed up. To help us quickly return any misplaced items, we kindly ask that you label your child’s clothing with their name. This small step can make a big difference!
If you are looking for an easy way to label, Mabel's Labels has a great solution! Simply click HERE to get started and support our school while you are at it.
How to Support:
