Onteora Students Still in Need of Coats

Thank you to those who have already donated coats. This year, OCS DECA has received 62 requests from families in our district that cannot afford winter coats for their children. We have been able to fill 24 of these requests and are still in need of 38 coats. In addition, there are many high school students we know are in need of coats not included on this list.

Please consider helping just one Onteora student by donating a new or gently used coat. We will also accept monetary donations in any amount to be used to purchase coats (checks to OCS DECA). In the past we have been able to purchase coats for under $10 each.

Look at the list below. If you know you have a coat for a student or plan to buy one please let me know the code number.

Coat should be:

·        Very gently used (free of holes, tears, stains, or broken zippers)

·        Warm winter coats (warm enough to withstand a cold winter morning at the bus stop)

I know we all give of ourselves to students every day. Please consider giving the gift of warmth this winter.

Bring coats to your building nurse or the high school bookstore.

Please contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

Colette Caprotti
