Currently, we do not have any of the Academy logoed items (polo shirts, gym shirts/shorts/pants) as this is our first year with the new pieces, but we have an abundance of jumpers, skirts, skorts, and boys pants and shorts. Donations can be sent into the front desk at any time. Appointments to look through the closet can be made with Marta at [email protected].
