My Student in Need: Clothing needed for growing kids

From the creators of My Neighbor in Need, www.mystudentinneed.org is a website that provides a private and nurturing way for Teachers and Faculty members to ask for help for a Student in Need and a way for the community to give back.

Current Needs

My Student in Need - Third grade female student, age 8, had a growth spurt over the summer. Her family is unable to get her new clothes as she is not with her parents at this time. She needs a couple pairs of pants (size 12) and a few shirts (child large). We are asking for gently used clothes with no staining or a donation of $100 so that the teacher can take the student shopping. Call 406-750-2542. The identification number is: West #1203.

My Student in Need - Sixth grade female student, age 12, is in need of tennis shoes for school. Her current shoes are too small. She wears a women's size 7. To make sure that the new shoes fit properly, we are asking for a donation of $40 or a $40 Scheels gift card. Scheels does provide My Student in Need with in-house discounts on shoes for students in need. The teacher will take her shopping for the shoes. Call 406-750-2542. The identification number is: West #1200.
