Coat Swap

Need a Coat? Have One to Spare? Want to Swap?

Does your child need a bigger coat for winter? Do you have coats your child has outgrown that you can share with other Gorman Fort Bank families?

Gorman Fort Banks 1st Annual Coat Swap will be going on from October 22^nd – November 1^st

Located in the Multi-Purpose Room

How it works:

YOUR CHILD HAS A COAT TO SHARE? Simply send your clean, used coats to school in a bag marked “Coat Swap” or stop by and deposit your coats in the coat bin outside the school during pick-up/drop-off.

YOUR CHILD NEEDS A COAT? Stop by the school on November 1^st and look for a coat that is right for your child. (No coat donation is necessary to participate.)

READY TO SWAP?

Any coats left over on November 1^st will be donated to a local charity.

Any questions?  Please contact Erica Gore (er92377@hotmail.com)
