Clothing Drive for CUSD by the Elks Lodge 2350

    




The Elk's Lodge is collecting new clothes and shoes until 7/15 for children ages 7-16 for the Coolidge Unified School.  We are going to build a closet for those kids to pick from come the new school  year.  They are eligible based on the McKinney-Vento Act standards

Please help these kids get a good start to a new school year.  Stop at the lodge for ideas or simply pick items up and drop them off.  No red or blue t-shirts, spaghetti straps, or short shorts.  Crew socks are best.  Monetary donations can be dropped off at the lodge or mailed to:

 The McKinney-Vento Act requires schools to identify and count students experiencing homelessness as defined by the U.S. Department of Education. Identification of homeless students under McKinney-Vento is a yearlong process. School staff, administrators, and teachers should all be trained in how to identify homeless students. If they believe they know a student who has become homeless, they inform the McKinney-Vento coordinator for their school or district.
