Donations of Polo Shirts (With No Logo) to Help a Child In Need
Leader in Me Habit 2, Begin With the End in Mind
I look for ways to be a good citizen both at my school and in my community.
With the updated uniform policy taking effect in the 2019-20 school year any old polo shirts (with or without the old logo) are no longer permitted to be worn. We felt this was a great opportunity to give back to a community school in need that uses the same uniform colors.
LP is partnering with Miles Elementary School in Tampa to collect light blue and/ navy polo shirts with NO LOGOS. Please consider donating your previously worn non-logo shirts to this great Hillsborough County public school. In addition to the polo shirts we will also be accepting any gently used KHAKI or NAVY uniform style bottoms (pants or shorts).
Collection bins will be set up in the lobby of the main building beginning this Friday through the summer.
Our contact at Miles Elementary is extremely grateful that we reached out to them and said they always have a large population of students in need that will benefit from our donations. Your simple act of donating a used polo shirt will have an enormous impact on a local student's life.
Please note, we are actively researching to find a school in need that uses the same colors our middle grades use (royal blue or grey) and will keep you up to date of potential future donation options. If you know of a local school that has a uniform with these colors please let us know and we will reach out to them to see if they are in need.
Donations of Polo Shirts (With Old Logo) to our Art Department
Our Art Department has some wonderful creative ideas for use of our old logoed polo shirts. As you are cleaning out your closet and preparing for the 19-20 school year with the new Red's Polos please donate your old polos WITH LOGOS to our school and they will be put to good use. Donation bins are set up in the front lobby of the main building.
