Today, Jacksonwald APT Co-Secretary Amber Elliott, along with

Bella Elliott, Emma Elliott and Hudson Lutz, delivered the first round of donated winter coats, jackets, hats and gloves that the APT collected to the Exeter clothing closet, which is a central resource at the Administration Building for school counselors to pull items for students in need. Amber said that the response to the coat drive has been incredible so far as she thanked all of the Jacksonwald parents and students who had donated. "It was a huge collection and we are so grateful," she said.

She also mentioned that parents throughout the district could donate any gently used winter coats, jackets, hats or gloves by dropping off their items outside of the entrance to Jacksonwald. The donation box will be set up now through next Tuesday for their final collection of items for students in need.
