Hi Seahawk family!
Our Seahawk closet is almost open for business! As some of you may have heard we are starting a formal wear closet for HHIHS students. With homecoming fast approaching, our closet is coming together but we are still looking for donations! If you or anyone you know has any dresses, dress shirts/pants, dress shoes, make up, jewelry, or anything else our dance goers might need we would love for you to donate! You can drop off any donations in the front lobby and let them know they are for Ms. Stroud (or the Seahawk
closet) or if you have any questions or concerns you can contact Ms. Stroud at kali.stroud@beaufort.k12.sc.us
