We enjoyed another paint party!

In case you couldn't tell, we love children. We love students and we love to help them succeed! We also love to host paint parties!

Last August, we partnered up with Hamilton Grange Middle School, which was our second school partnership. Then, we had donated more than $600 worth of notebooks, binders, pens, penciles, folders and erasers to the students to the 2014 to 2015 school year.

Recently, we received a donation of supplies from kind-hearted people who were cleaning out their offices. They kindly donated crayons, index cards, calculators, markers, notebooks, pens, rulers and more! Still close with Hamilton Grange, we decided to bring them over to the school and host an awesome painting party with the school's art club. Principal Lev of Hamilton Grange has been extremely supportive of the Fashion Foundation; he even attended our kick-off event in November.

Founder Amanda and Special Events Intern Haviland went to the school on May 13 and spent the afternoon with nine students. They painted tiles to bring home and had a great time!

"The highlight of our day was being called 'Miss Beautiful and Miss Beautifuler' by one of the sixth-grade students!" Amanda says.

So, what that being said, find some photos of our fun day below!

The Fashion Foundation accepts clothing, bag, accessory and shoe donations from both individuals and companies, and sells them on the organization's website for a fraction of the price! Proceeds buy school supplies for students in need.
