Dress for Success Off to a GREAT Start


October 10 was “Dress for Success Day”, on which all Creekview students were encouraged to dress nicely to promote awareness of the project. Students donated 147 pieces of professional attire and donations are still coming in.

Creekview student, Patrick Lyons, in partnership with Metrocrest Social Services has began a non-profit initiative through Creekview High School called Project Dress for Success. The mission of this project is to gather as many interview-quality dress clothing donations as possible. After donations have been collected, they will be distributed to needy families throughout the DFW metroplex area through the Metrocrest Social Services (MSS).

These donations can help individuals secure jobs and move toward self-sufficiency, the mission of both the MSS and Project Dress for Succes. The donation drive runs from October 8-18, but donations will certainly still be accepted after these dates.

For any individuals who do not attend Creekview but would still like to make a donation, just contact Patrick Lyons on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.
