Students in need of clothing at DCHS were treated Thursday during the first ever “Tiger Boutique” organized by the Climate Crew.
Members of the Climate Crew collected donations of name brand clothes and set up shop for one day only in the DCHS library for other students to take advantage of for free.
“These kids in the Climate Crew came together and donated amazing clothing and by 10:30 a.m. this morning (Thursday) we had 700 items of clothing selected by over 100 students . A total of 1,555 items of clothing were given away for the day. These are mostly name brand clothes, free of any rips, stains, tears, or odors and are really good clothes for these kids. The students are so excited. We could not believe the outpouring of love from the community in giving us clothes and how many students were actually in need,” said DCHS Librarian Lisa Craig.
“Mrs. Sara Halliburton, a Biology teacher at DCHS, saw that there was a need about a year ago for this and today her vision has become a reality,” said Craig.
“We will also be doing this again in the spring so we will be looking for prom items to be donated to the library,” she added.
The DCHS Climate Crew is made up of students who have a desire to change the school culture at DCHS. “We want to do a lot of good things for kids because there is so much negativity in this world and we just want to help change lives,” Craig concluded.
