[quote=Anonymous]We moved away from the DC area to a colder climate. Our kids' elementary school has a mix of incomes. 33% FARMS with the rest being a mix of middle class and upper middle class. They make every effort to get the lost and found items back to the owners. At the end of the year they keep coats/hats/gloves. A volunteer washes everything and then it goes into the need closet. If a child comes to school and asks they are given a coat to keep. If a child comes to school on a field trip day not dressed for the weather they get sent to the office and are given a coat/gloves/hat. The system seems to work great. My kid forgot to wear a coat one day that started warmer then it ended and came home in a coat. We washed it and sent it back for the next kid. The school also collects shorts and pants to have on hand in case a younger child has an accident. It has been a great way to pass on the bottoms my kids have out grown. [/quote]
