Where: J.M. Wright Technical High School
Cost: $25 per student

Cleaning Out Closets?
Please drop off all of our old clothes and textile items to the JMWT textile bins and help raise funds for our school! Spread the word!
Our bins have brought in over $1,000 for just being there!
The bins are located at the front entrance of the school near Cubeta Field for convenient drop off.
We accept all sorts of used textiles (clothes, sheets, shoes, bags, even stuffed animals and throw pillows). Our bins prevent discarded items becoming part of landfills and gives them a second life. You can view more info here

Fun Fact: Mrs. Leventhal, our amazing Library Media Department Head, stores the collection of JWMT school yearbooks. She showed us some of the yearbooks at the Open House event in November. In 1961 JMWT had a Wonderland by Night Dance, photos below. It will be great if we can make the Winter Wonderland Dance a fun evening for our students! Please get student dues in so the dance can go on!
