Hello! My name is Yaewon and I am in Grade 9.  For my Design project, I need some red and black fabric. If you have old clothes that I could repurpose that are red and/or black, please bring them to school and drop off in the donation box in the foyer or to the Design Centre. Any type of fabric, any shade of red or black.

The donation box will be in the foyer until Friday.
