Unearthing my cool weather clothing is the perfect opportunity to pass along the items long forgotten with plenty of good miles left. TES PTO Kid’s Closet accepts donations year round for K-12 students; apparel beyond retirement stage still supports Class of 2018’s Textile Drive.
New & nearly-new clean garments may be dropped at Toledo Elementary office during school hours.
Other textiles may be dropped at Toledo High office.
Label bags, please.
