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 during school hours to the Front Office 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.
Home and School
It’s EDUKIT Time!
Can you believe that the school year is almost over and we’re already thinking of next year?!?! Well, we are and that means that it’s Edukit time!! The items in the Edukits have been hand picked by your child’s teacher so, once you place order you won’t have to worry about school supplies come August. That means more time by the pool!! The cherry on top is that if you order between now and 6/28 the Edukit will be delivered right to SVdP and you can check off a trip to Target on your “ Back to School” to do list!! If your child still wants to purchase their own fun, flashy folders or another special item that they have to have they are welcome to do so. However, items in the Edukit cannot be replaced and they come as the teachers have requested. So, avoid the back to school madness and running from store to store looking for a Mead 3 ring binder with built in shoulder straps that convert into a one man tent with laser beams and order your Edukit today!
Here is the link for ordering (Vincent De Paul Catholic School Denver, CO) this is also a school fundraiser and SVdP earns money back for every kit purchased! If you place your order AFTER 6/28 the Edukit will be sent to your home.
If you choose to shop directly for school supplies, click here for the school supplies list for the 2023-2024.
