Smith Clinic Clothing Needs

Our school clinic provides changes of clothing for students that have bathroom accidents so they can remain at school without staying in clothing that may cause a strong odor or rash.

This clothing is also used for mishaps in opening lunch packages (milk & yogurt are the worst!), playground incidences from puddles and mud, or extreme dress code violations.

Donations of gently used leggings, pants, and shirts will be very welcomed. New, in the package, underwear and socks are also very appreciated!

Deliveries can be made to the school front office or sent with your student to be forwarded to the office.

Thank you so much!
