Our Clothes - Enough?!

Throughout the year, in advisory, classes and special assemblies, we will be exploring this year’s sustainability theme: ENOUGH!? Through this lens we can ask revealing questions about material and non-material aspects of our lives. When do we have enough? How much is enough? How much is too much?

We recently looked at our personal collection of clothing through the perspective of “Enough?!” Then, students collected their excess clothing to make a donation. This clothing drive took place in the spirit of “Thanks –Giving” for the plenty in our lives, at least around clothing.

The beneficiary of our clothing drive was Community Services for the Blind and Partially Sighted. CSBPS was founded as an independent not-for-profit organization in 1965, the Northwest’s leading vision rehabilitation agency and specializes in helping older people cope with age-related and traumatic vision loss. CSBPS works with individuals, families, and communities to restore, maintain and enhance the independence and well being of people with impaired vision.
It turns that one person’s excess can fill another person’s need.
