The Blair Fraley Sales StoreDr. Mary Sloop discovered that the re-sale of clothes and households items donated to the school could generate profits to be re-invested in the school. The process started just by displaying the clothes on Dr. Sloop's porch for passersby to see and buy, progressed to a second hand sale which led to a substantial full-time retail store that continues today. Their wares include good-condition used clothing, toys, housewares books and more. Click here to learn more and to make donations. Today's store was named for the son of a school trustee who died in a bicycle accident. Their website reports that the store is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
