Kids grow all throughout the year. In March 2019, Love Out Loud is once again hosting the School Uniform Exchange and Shop at Speas Elementary. The Sale is on Wednesday, March 13 from 4:30-7pm in the Speas cafeteria. This is our 3rd year offering the Uniform Exchange and Shop at Speas and it is such a blessing to the whole school community. The Exchange provides families with a way to purchase school-appropriate attire at a discounted price and/or exchange outgrown school attire for a bigger size. We had families lining up last year before the event started so folks are beginning to rely on it and I trust this year will be even bigger than last!

Volunteers are needed to make this go! Please consider joining to help during one (or more :) of these times:

Wednesday 3/13 - 4-5pm Setting up Sale

Wednesday 3/13 - 5-6:30pm Work the sale: check-in/check-out shoppers, assist shoppers, hang up items being exchanged

Wednesday 3/13 - 6:30-7pm (break-down the sale, do inventory, possibly take items to storage)

Spanish speaking abilities will be put to use (but not required)!

Let me know of questions and if are able to help. Also, please pass this request on to anyone you know who may have interest.

Thank you for your consideration and for your servant hearts,

We're also accepting donations of new or lightly used SMOD (standard mode of dress) clothings for the swap. More information on what clothing is accepted here. 

For the second year of Uniform Mart (2017)

We were assisted by over 20 volunteers. A great help this year were Speas teachers who helped at Checkout with translating and welcoming kids back and a few volunteers from Hope Church. 

There was great energy and joy at Open House which was set up in the cafeteria with Principal Ash and Asst Principal Pressley smiling & so grateful to see needs met.

Together we served parents of all income levels who were able to purchase and exchange back to school clothing and buy new underwear and socks.  In total over 166 kids were served - meeting the needs of a third of the school.
