Halloween is an exciting tradition for many of our students, but not every family can afford the extra expense of a costume. We are hoping to make sure all of our elementary students, grades K-5 (ages 5-11), can take part in the fun at school this year.
We are requesting new or gently used costumes for boys and girls, sizes child small through child large. Please note: no face paint, masks, or toy weapons can be accepted.
Our schools do keep a small supply of extra costumes on hand, but they often run out quickly. Your donation will help bring joy and inclusion to a child who might otherwise miss out on this special day!
Thank you for helping our students feel included and excited to celebrate!
As the school year continues, many Kettering students still need essential supplies to stay focused and successful in the classroom. Kettering Neighborhood Bridges is collecting school supplies to support them all year long. If you have extra items or spot great sales or clearance items while shopping, please consider donating. All supplies go directly to Kettering students in need.
