Lost & Found Items – Pictures

/in /by

Below are pictures of the items still remaining in our lost & found (clicking the picture will enlarge it).  The tables will be set up through the end of day Thursday.  Please feel free to stop by at morning drop-off, afternoon pick-up, or during the day to see if any of these “lost” items belong to your family.  After Thursday, any remaining sweatpants, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, etc. will be delivered to a local shelter or, if appropriate, sent over to our uniform closet.

Grades K-3: toys for ages 3-8

Grades 4-6: toys for ages 8-12 (i.e. Nerf sports toys and arts/crafts kits are popular)
