Fill the closet

Bonny Eagle High School health teachers and the T-Cell Team, an AIDS awareness club are seeking donations for a Cinderella’s Closet.

A Cinderella’s Closet can help make a girl’s high school dance a wonderful experience by providing dresses who cannot afford an expensive dress.

People can donate dresses, shoes, and accessories of any size by e-mailing Bonny Eagle teachers Meghan Pearson at mpearson@sad6.k12.me.us and Erin Crimmin at ecrimmin@sad6.k12.me.us. Both can arrange a time for pickup or drop off of donated dresses.

Many people who have beautiful bridesmaid and party dresses that are never really worn again. Why not share them with girls who can give them another chance to shine?
