👕💚 Uniform Donation Drive at Maple Elementary! 💚👕
As the school year comes to a close, many of our 5th graders are preparing for middle school and may no longer need their Maple uniforms!
If your child has gently used uniform shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, or jumpers that no longer fit or won't be needed next year, please consider donating them to Maple! These donations help support families in our school community and ensure all students have access to uniforms when they need them.
Every donation makes a difference and helps another Maple student start the year ready to learn.
Thank you for supporting our Maple community!
