Do you recognize any of the clothing in this pile or hanging up? Do your children recognize any of the items?
These shirts, sweaters, coats, etc. are some of the items that can be found in our lost and found area. Starting tomorrow, November 1st, a group of grade 7’s will be setting up a table and displaying the items in front of our gym. We hope that these items can find their proper home soon. The display will not be up for ever, so we expect that students will look for things they have lost.
How do we get children to take better care of their belongings?
At the end of many lunch periods, there will often be coats or sweatshirts left on the playground. I have been known to bring items to children if their names are in the clothing, but more often than not, there is no name inside. We have items that were left on the playground during recess, or during lunch, or after school, or even on the weekends. I think there must be some sort of magnetic field out there that attracts sweatshirts and coats.
Please come by and look after November 1st. Please make sure your child looks.
Our school is trying to have garbage-free lunches on Wednesdays. Is it a garbage free lunch if a child leaves his/her plastic re-usable container outside and never picks it up? Food containers that are found outside are often left near the lost and found area (on one of the counters nearby). However, if they contain food, they will soon grow mold inside, and we end up throwing them out. Please talk to your child or children about bringing their food containers home.
We keep our lost and found near the west wing of the school, beside door number #4. The students all walk by it one their way to music, yet they never see their own clothing there.
Please come look. Bring your child or children with you to look. In a couple of weeks, any leftover items will be donated to a charity. We cannot keep it all year.
Thanks
Take care.
