400 MIAMI-DADE STUDENTS TO GET FREE SCHOOL UNIFORMS


August 17, 2004


Four hundred needy students from three Miami-Dade County public schools will have free school uniforms this year, thanks to a Miami retailer and a New York-based apparel company.

Eddie Blanco, owner of Miami's Kids for Less store, and representatives of New York's Longstreet clothing company will present 400 coupons Thursday, Aug. 19, 12:30 p.m. during ceremonies at Henry M. Flagler Elementary School, 5222 N.W. First Street.

The coupons, redeemable at Kids for Less, will go to selected students of Flagler, F.S. Tucker and Frederick Douglass elementary schools.

This is the first year that this nationwide "Community Partnership Program" has come to Miami, following a series of similar giveaways in key cities around the country.
