Did you ever dream of running away with the circus? I did, and for a brief moment, I even believed that my grandfather had flown on the flying trapeze (I was wrong, but it's still a great story).
The thing is, your clothes--the ones that your kid outgrew, or that you know you're never going to wear again--can help a kid join the circus...the Washington Irving Circus, that is.
Turns out that 5th graders particularly like lessons on clowning. Who knew?

This is actually what the WI cafeteria looks like after the sale. Bring your best manners and prepare to rub elbows with Rivertown deal-seekers as you find something excellent, like new children's Gymboree or an ever-stylish Eileen Fisher. Photo courtesy of The Patch.
Clear out your closets (you know you need to, and you sure don't want to leave bags of clothing on the curb--this is why), support the coolest bunch of 5th graders on the East Coast, and get yourself a cheap thrill by finding something gorgeous and New-To-You.
Please drop off your clothing donations during the week of April 21st, in the Washington Irving School front hall. The sale itself is on Saturday, April 26, from 9am-1pm.
I got my donation there early. It looks like a crime scene now, but trust me, you will want what's in this bag....
Long Live The WI Circus!
