- Mingus View, you are wonderful partners with Mountain View Elementary school. Stephanie Clinton, the school nurse, is so appreciative. Her budget was cut this year so our donations are that much more appreciated! We pretty much had her set to start the year. Checking in with her recently, she said they can always use bandaids and, as usual, sweat pants size 6-8. She said both boys and girls wear the sweat pants. Underwear, basically boys 6-8 and girls 6-8. The small water bottles and crackers are hot items and great to have on hand. Many come without breakfast. Thank you so much for your support! You can put your donations in the school bus (thanks to Sue Von Hagel) in the narthex.
