❓ Thoughts on a Clothing Swap

What do you think about the VMS hosting a clothing swap around February/ March?

Late Winter/ early Spring would be a great time for us all to do a closet clean out!

  • Men’s, Lady’s and Children’s clothing and shoes would be donated. All must be clean and in good condition.

  • We would sort them by category. Probably fold and organize them on tables.

  • VMS families and members of the public will be invited to come and shop by donation.

Is this something you would donate to?

Is this something you would come shop at?

Is this something you could volunteer for?

❓ Would you rather pay a biannual fee -or- volunteer time?

We’d love to hear from you! Using the comments box below let us know your thoughts.

The Montessori Program functions in partnership with School District 22. We are provided with classroom space, teachers and “regular” classroom supplies.

Beyond that, it is the responsibility of the Vernon Montessori Society (VMS) to pay for specialized Montessori materials, tools and programing.

  • The VMS is 100% run by parent volunteers.

  • It costs approximately $10,000 to outfit 1 classroom with Montessori tools alone.

Question: Would you rather…

  1. Pay a bi-annual fee of no more than $500,

  2. Volunteer a minimum number of hours annually, or

  3. Fundraise like a Girl Guide being chased by the cookie monster?

We are not positioned to approve anything yet. Just looking for feedback and suggestions :) Thank you!
