BROWNSVILLE WARMTH

BROWNSVILLE WARMTH The weather cools and from the closet we pull coats to warm our children. If last year’s parka doesn’t fit we trek to a favorite store for a larger size. Unfortunately this scenario does not play out fully in every home. As the Brownsville Guidance Office is aware, many children in our school don’t make a shopping trip for a new coat and there may not be hand-medowns from siblings. The PTO is partnering with the Guidance Office to ensure that EVERY Brownsville child has the warmth of a winter coat. For the past eight years the PTO has completely met the coat needs of our Brownsville families through an effort combining the donation of gently used coats and the purchase of new coats. The Guidance Office has determined needed sizes/gender noted below. You can help by donating a gently used coat AND/OR offer to buy a new coat to meet these sizes. FEMALE Size 12-18month 24 month 3T 5 6/7 7/8 10/12 14/16
