Other items of interest:
- Reminder – the deadline to order school clothing is today – October 7!! Once the store closes, it is closed. All order and payments will be online. Check out the clothing options and designs at the following website. All clothing size charts are available on the site as well! www.spiritwearcanada.ca/avonlea_school/shop/home
To keep the store costs minimal, the SCC is asking families to have the clothing shipped to the school. Clothing will be sent home with your child; however, if the clothing is a gift item, please send an email to the school for items to be set aside for parent pick up. Once we know the estimated date of delivery, I will include it in the Peek at the Week.
If there is interest and this first sale is a success, we will be looking at a Spring store with a few additional items.
