Illini Elementary could use donated clothes for the nurses offices. Let’s face it, accidents happen. We are in real need of pants. Particularly sizes 5-10/12. It’s that time of year we begin to transition to warmer clothes, so as you are going through your children’s closets, if you need to find a new home for the clothes they have out grown, we would love to take them. Just send them to the office in a bag marked donated items for the nurses office. Thank you in advance.
