Dressing Students in Need in Clark County Schools (pre-K-8)
Imagine being a student without the clothes to dress appropriately for an ordinary school day. Every year thousands of students in need, pre-K through 8th grade, may not attend school because they simply do not have adequate clothing. Now, imagine what a gift it would be to shop for a week’s worth of new clothing, shoes, and a hygiene kit to keep and enjoy.
Students from the Clark County School District (CCSD) Title 1 designated elementary or middle schools are referred to Our School Boutique by their individual CCSD school counselor or administrator.
While we are happy to know this new clothing increases student incentive for regular school attendance, higher academic performance, and enhanced self-esteem, our true reward comes from their big smiles when they see their new clothing!
Our School Boutique program opened its doors on September 26, 1978. From that opening day, through the 2022-2023 school year, Our School Boutique has clothed over 172,347 students in Clark County.

For additional information about Our School Boutique services, please contact the student’s CCSD school counselor or administrator.
