We are pleased to let everyone know about our NEW Uniform Freecycle Facebook page to allow families time to start exchanging school uniforms! This page allows parents and caregivers the ability to exchange, hand off, or source gently used uniforms real time. We know everyone has been or will soon be cleaning out school uniforms in preparation for the upcoming school year, so this should prove a useful tool for all.
The group page is called: St. Aidan School PACE Uniform Free Cycle Group. If you would like to join, you must also be a follower of the St. Aidan PACE page. You can search for the page on Facebook and request to join. Here is the link to the group page: St. Aidan School PACE Uniform Free Cycle Page.
The rules of the page will follow other Freecycle pages. The most important rule is that once an item is posted, the first person to publicly comment on the post should get the item. Please follow this rule as it keeps everything clean and simple. No side exchanges after a post has been made and publicly claimed. If you want to check in with friends before posting, please do that first. Once it’s posted on this site, it should be treated as fair game for all. From there, the exchanging parties can use Facebook’s direct messenger or other modes of communication to coordinate the exchange. Please note, these exchanges must not take place in school. The teachers and staff have enough to worry about. Do not send items in to be exchanged with your children. You can, however, exchange outside the school during pick up and drop off or on your own time.
This is not a group for uniform sales. Everything is free through the site. Through exchanges, families should be able to save some money and offload gently used uniforms when their kids outgrow them or move on from the school. We hope this proves useful to all! We will still be having in-person Uniform Closet events as well, and the next one will be held on Wednesday, August 28th in the afternoon & evening during the Kindergarten Meet & Greet.
Lastly, attached is a list of rules regarding behavior within the group. Be kind, courteous and respectful. Happy uniform swapping!
