A Note from Operation Smile

Operation Smile will be holding a Yard Sale to raise money for cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries. The Yard Sale will take place on Friday, April 26th, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Unity Courtyard.

Please put your donations in bins marked 'Operation Smile Yard Sale', which may be found in the HS Office, MS Office, ES Office, ES/MS Library, ES Cafeteria, ES gate, and main gate from April 1st to April 15th.

Please donate items in good condition that you no longer use, and that other families would like to buy. These could include books, toys, sports equipment, household items, games, etc. Operation Smile volunteers will then sell these items, with all profits going to the organization.
