DRESSED FOR SUCCESS: The all-volunteer Assistance League of San Jose announced this week that it had provided 9,210 new school uniforms to 5,434 low-income students in three San Jose school districts. The uniforms were distributed in two waves: Once at the start of the school year and again in January to catch students who entered school mid-year.
“Local families living below the poverty line and struggling just to get by can’t always afford new school uniforms for their children,” Assistance League of San Jose President Jerri Kazmierczak said. “For many of these children, our uniforms will be the only new clothes that they will receive during the year.”
