Clean Out Your Closet Day
GATEWAY PREP ACADEMY
in partnership with SOLES FOR LIFE
"Clean Out Your Closet"
April 14-21, 2012
Join us in saving high school drop-outs and others who need to finish high school.
In 2010 there were 500,000 high school Drop-Outs in Los Angeles County!
In 2010 Los Angeles Unified School District had 200,000 Drop-Outs!
In 2012-2013 budget cuts have made it worse!
Soles for Life is collecting donated "Soles & Clothes' to help fund Gateway Prep Academy. (GPA) is a non-profit, private, high school program. Their special focus is serving students who are at risk of not graduating. GPA enables these students to make up missing credits and earn a high school diploma or equivalency certificate.
Please 'clean out your closets' and gather all of the footwear and clothing you and others no longer wear. (too small, too old, out of style, etc.) Put 'paired' shoes in one bag, and clothing in another....That's it!!
