My Student in Need: Winter clothing needed

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

A seventh-grade girl, age 12, is in need of clothes: shirts L-XL, pants 10-11, shoes 7 1/2, and winter coat L/XL. If you are able to assist, you can either donate gently used/clean items, or make a donation in any amount up to $150 to My Student in Need, and we will purchase a gift card for the teacher to purchase clothing. You are not required to provide all of the needed items/amount. Rather simply tell us how much you wish to contribute. Call 406-750-2542. The identification number is: North Middle No. 1220.

A second-grade girl, 7, and her two younger brothers are in need of coats and snow boots. My Student in Need was able to provide all three children with coats, hats and gloves from the Community Coat Closet, however we still need snow boots for these children. The girl, 7, needs size 13 and both boys both need size 9-10 snow boots. If you are able to assist, you can either donate gently used snow boots or make a donation to My Student in Need for $75 and we will buy a gift card so that the teacher can purchase the needed snow boots. Call 406-750-2542. The identification number is: Lewis & Clark No. 1217.

An eighth-grade female student, 13, is in need of two pairs of shoes: tennis shoes and casual shoes in a size 9. New or gently worn is wonderful.
