Clean out your closet
Thanks to the Cinderella
Project, underprivileged teens across the Lower Mainland
can celebrate their grad night in style.
The Vancouver-based
volunteer-run charity provides free formal attire to
high-school graduates who could not afford to
participate in celebrating this important milestone
without assistance.
"Cinderellas" and
"Cinderfellas" are referred to the organization by
school counsellors, teachers, principals or social
services agencies.
This year, Sentinel
students are collecting for the program.
The school's dress drive
started earlier this week and runs to next Thursday.
Sentinel is accepting new or gently used formal and
semi-formal clothing, evening bags, shoes, jewelry,
accessories, and new/unopened cosmetics, hair products,
perfumes and colognes. Items will be accepted at the
school office, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.
Formal clothing should be
suitable for teen tastes. Monetary donations are also
being accepted.
Make your cheque payable to
the Cinderella Project and send your donation to the
school, care of Sue Herd, staff sponsor.
For details, contact Herd
at 981-1130 or by e-mail, sherd@sd45.bc.ca.
