Organizers of the One-Stop Grad Shop want to make sure every Grade 8 student has a chance to attend their graduation.

For the third year, King George School has partnered with Brantford police to offer free formal wear.

“Moving on to a secondary school is a major milestone for our students, and cost shouldn’t be a barrier to taking part in graduation celebrations,” said Shannon McLeod, a Grade 6 teacher at King George, who is spearheading the effort with Const. Kelsie Logan.

“This is a chance to pick out a stylish outfit without spending money, thanks to generous donations from the community.”

Organizers are seeking donations of formal wear, including dresses, suits, jackets and dress shirts, as well as shoes, ties and accessories.

Donations can be dropped off at the Brantford police station, 344 Elgin St., until May 30.

Grade 8 students can choose their graduation outfits on Thursday, May 30, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at King George School, 265 Rawdon St.
