13th Annual Scotties’ Closet Back for Another Year

BALLSTON SPA —The Ballston Spa Middle School is set to host “Scotties’ Closet” on Saturday, November 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., this event marks their 13th consecutive year. This school community event provides gently used clothing, books, coats and shoes to about 300 students, families and individuals annually. It is organized by middle school social workers, along with parent representatives and school and community volunteers. All items donated by the school community are provided free to students, families and members of the community. “This annual community event would not be possible without the tireless efforts of school and community volunteers who donate, sort and merchandise all the items in the cafeteria,” said BSCSD in a statement. Until October 24, the school district has set aside marked bins in school lobbies where people can donate items. Because winter months are fast approaching, snowpants, boots, coats and hats are in high demand. Please contact the middle school for additional information at 518-884-7200 or email cjones@bscsd.org to volunteer.
