Save the Date – Used Uniform Sale – August 13th
Mark your calendars! The fall used uniform sale will be held Saturday, August 13 from 10:00am-12:00pm in the school lobby. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Kim Abbate at Kim.Abbate@outlook.com.
How does the Used Uniform Sale work?
- Parents can either donate or sell SVdP uniforms two times each year at our fall and spring uniform sale
To Donate:
- Drop off any clean uniforms in good condition at SVdP’s Front Desk marked “Donation” and you’re done! Proceeds from donated items, go back to SVdP School.
To Sell:
- Please pin an envelope or baggie to each item with:
- your last name
- item type
- All shirts & shorts are sold for $5; all pants, plaids and sweatshirts sell for $10.
- The items can be dropped off at the front desk during normal business hours.
- If your items are sold during a sale, you will receive your proceeds. If items don’t sell, SVdP stores the uniforms in bins and you’ve got another chance at the next sale. However, once your children are no longer attending the school, the clothing is considered a donation to SVdP.
If you have questions or want to get involved with the sales? We always need volunteers. Please contact Kim Abbate atKim.Abbate@outlook.com or Lauren Josephson at lologott@gmail.com.

Do you have a preschool student at SVdP? Do you live in Denver? Would you like to help the school? Please read on!
St. Vincent de Paul School participates in the Denver Preschool Program (DPP). Denver residents have supported this program through their taxes for many years. The program not only helps families with tuition awards, it also helps the school with monetary awards during the school year that allow for the purchase of classroom materials, and educational opportunities for the preschool staff. The more students who enroll, the more support is offered to the school. So, if you are eligible, it is a benefit for our Denver families to enroll in the program!
- Every 4 year old preschool student whose family resides in the city and county of Denver is eligible for the DPP award program. Tuition awards are based on financial needs, but any Denver resident family who applies receives something. Any financial information you provide is strictly confidential within the DPP.
- If you do not wish to provide any financial information, but want to assist the school by enrolling your child, you may decline to submit tax information. You will still receive a base award.
- The application process is quick. Please go to dpp.org to learn more and to apply.
3 YEAR OLD PRESCHOOLERS
