Queen Esther’s Closet
Apr 3rd, 2008 by jessi3ca
I’m not that much of a newspaper reader & I don’t think I’ve ever picked up a Lifestyle article. Well, today my mother went into a store & decided to take one to read. Later at home when I came in from walking, she handed it to me.
“See if you want to give your Winter Formal dresses to this.”
So I picked it up and hadn’t really planned on reading it just yet, but after I read the first sentence, I couldn’t stop. What my mother was talking about is a project created by Miss Brandy Stuart(a Social Studies teacher at Neshoba Central) & Miss Rachel Kiepe(librarian at Neshoba Central). The object of the program is to provide Prom Dresses to girls who may not be able to afford them.
I was really touched by the kindness of these two ladies created such a thoughtful program. They came up with the name “Queen Esther’s Closet” from scripture in the Holy Bible. “The Lord used Esther’s beauty to save a nation & that spoke to me” says Miss Kiepe. These women believe that every girl should be a Princess for at least one night, no matter what their situations are at home.
As far as donations, Queen Esther’s Closet will accept dresses, clothing bags, shoes, jewelry, and/or boys’ suits & tuxedoes. They’re especially looking for girls’ dresses in larger sizes. The dresses don’t have to be specifically for prom, any used or new formal dresses will do such as bridesmaids’ dresses or pagent dresses. I’m donating 2 of my old Winter Formal dresses and shoes too.
If anyone would like more information, you can reach Miss Kiepe at 601-389-6713 or Miss Stuart at 601-575-4926. So if you can please give to this wonderful program or if you’re not able just pass it on. Every girl deserves to feel like a Princess-even if it is for only a night ![]()
If I had a tux or a dress, or some jewelry, I would definitely donate. But I don’t.
Well, that’s sweet anyways.
