The PA will be hosting the annual community Winter Coat Swap & Drive! 

You’re invited drop off your gently used coats, sweaters and winter items and participate in a coat swap at the Main Building (Bake Sale area) during Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, November 14th.

From 1-3pm and 5-7pm, clothing collected from the swap will be available for the taking for all PS 99 students and their families. No need to donate to “shop” for free! Help recycle and distribute clothing and keep everyone warm!

If you’d like to bring it in earlier this week, feel free to drop it off in the Coat Drive boxes that have been set up in the lobbies of both the Main Building and Annex.

The Coat Drive boxes will also be out until December 6th. Any donated clothing will be brought to local shelters for distribution after the 6th.
