**********************************************

Our parent and community team has done some research to learn more about which businesses in our area will carry uniform pieces.

We have learned that Sears, Mervyn's, Penney, Target and the GAP will all have a uniform stock. We also were able to find some great bargains at Goodwill in Federal Way. We know there are others as well.

Our school will be putting together a "uniform closet" with items to support families who may need some help. We will accept donations of uniform pieces in good condition.

In addition, you may check out the following website for affordable school uniform pieces: http://sears.frenchtoast.com.
