Are You Donating
Clothing?
The
local Goodwill (off Main Street by Long John Silver’s) has a credit system with
Jessamine County Schools that enables us to give clothing vouchers to families
in need!
When you go to Goodwill to donate your clothes, just request that your
clothing donation be credited to
Jessamine County Schools.
The worker should have you sign a donation slip.
Connie’s Health Tip
Nurse
Connie at JELV encourages all families to wash your hands, especially during
this season of sickness. Washing your hands frequently with soap and water will
help prevent illness.
