The family budget and school Lost Property

So it has been three weeks since the children starting back at I am reliably informed by the School Admin team that the lost property box is overflowing.

I myself have paid one visit to the lost property bin already this term.  It is astonishing how much stuff you find.  There’s one School shoe, several single plimsols, fleeces of all age groups.

Despite the indian summer we are experiencing Autumn and the colder whether will soon be upon us.  Which means, more layers.

Furthermore, many of us need to keep a close hold of the family budget.  So this means that we need to not waste money on items you have already bought so spending a few pounds on making sure their clothes come home is well worth it.

Here is a selection of the most popular items of personalised name labels.

School Lost Property

School Lost Property

At the beginning of the Spring School term last year all the parents at our local school received the following note:-

“We encourage our children to be as independent as possible and show respect for their property by looking after it carefully. However, sometimes various items are misplaced or lost.

Those items that are lost and are named can be returned easily and quickly. Those items that are un-named are put in the Lost Property cupboard. At the end of last term we had over 100 items without homes and we would like to try and reunite as many items with their rightful owners.

The items of the Lost Property cupboard will be displayed at the start and end of every school day for the next two weeks . However, at the end of half term we will bundle up the unclaimed useful items and send them to a number of charitable organisations or add them to our stock of spare clothes.

Of course we would much rather that we return items to their rightful owners. PLEASE ensure your child’s things are clearly named and help us keep lost property down to a minimum.”

A friend of mine hadn’t seen a couple of items of her kids for a while so decided to pop down after school one day. She was staggered to see the amount of clothes that were there simply because they hadn’t been clearly labelled. Jumpers, gloves, scarves and even several single shoes!

Now that the weather is changing most of our children are wearing extra Winter layers so it is even more important to ensure that every clothing item is clearly labelled. We all spend a lot of money on keeping our kids wrapped up warm for the Winter so spending a few pounds on making sure their clothes come home is well worth it.
