Wellsville Music Boosters presents "Concert Closet"

From Wellsville Music Booster
Dear Wellsville Families,


We all know that purchasing clothes for children and teens can be very expensive and can put a pinch on finances. In addition, that pinch is often a little harder to take when the clothing items are worn only once or twice. Because of this, the Music Department has teamed up with two local businesses to create a “Concert Closet”.
We are asking for donations of gently used concert attire to help with the initial establishment of the Concert Closet. These items will then become available for students to “rent,” and then return after their performance. What do we need?​
For boys—black pants, white dress shirts, and ties.
For young ladies—black and white dresses, black skirts and white tops.
We are also in need of appropriate dress shoes for both boys and girls.
Two local business on Main Street have graciously volunteered to host the Concert Closet. Trend Addictions will house the clothing items, and the shoes will be housed at Hamilton’s.
A couple of weeks prior to each performance there will be shopping hours established for our students. This will allow parents the opportunity to take their student(s) shopping at these local businesses, within the “Concert Closet,” and be outfitted for a minimal rental fee; $7.00 per outfit or pair of shoes. If both items are needed, the rental fee would be $14.00.

When you return the clothing in the same condition as you received it, (washed-unless dry cleaning is necessary—and undamaged) $5.00 will be returned to you. This means that your child can be fully outfitted for any school concert for just $4.00.
The Concert Closet will be available to all Wellsville Central School students, as well as to students of the Immaculate Conception School.

If you have any of the above listed items starting at a child’s size 8 that you would be willing to donate, please send them into school with your children on the days that they have music or lessons.

Thank you for your support,
The WCS Music Department
