Every fall the Sunnyside Swap Shop Co-op hosts a Back-to-School Exchange at Sunnyside Environmental School (SE Salmon between 34th and 35th). Co-op members, K-8th grade students, their families, neighbors and friends shop for new-to-you back to school clothes, jackets, backpacks, lunch boxes, bikes, bike gear and supplies from the donations that everyone brings in to share.

The first day of school at Sunnyside is a like a giant parade of recycled clothing and equipment as lots of kids show off their latest find and find their last year’s things living a new life with another student.

This event took place on Monday, August 25th for the 2008/2009 school year. The date and time for this event in the fall of 2009 TBA.
