Restore The Nest
The Nest is a clothes closet for East Meck students and their families. Unfortunately, over the summer The Nest trailer was overwhelmed with mildew and many of the items need to be tossed. The rest will need to be thoroughly cleaned and stored elsewhere until we can remedy the situation. Stay tuned for a cleanup day!
We currently have a few urgent needs: a dehumidifier, men's shoes sized 7-9, and backpacks. Please contact Mr. Arias or Rebecca Cheatham if you have any of these to donate. Items can be dropped off at the front office.
