Many teenagers want to look cool. But not everyone can afford to keep up with the changing fashion trends (潮流). Chloe Murray, an eighth-grader at Jefferson Middle School in the US, realized this problem and started a charitable clothes closet (慈善衣橱) to help her peers.

Her school was for the idea too. The school let her use a room for the project. Murray’s classmates joined her as well. When the charitable clothes closet, Chloe’s Closet, opened, it was filled with trendy clothes for girls and boys to help students look their best. “Confidence is a real problem in middle school, especially when it comes to clothing,” Murray told the Chicago Tribune, a daily newspaper in Chicago, US.

Where are the clothes from? Many people from the school’s community and neighboring schools gave away used and new clothes. The clothes closet is only open after school. Students can “buy” these clothes by earning “money” when they turn in their schoolwork on time, make corrections on homework, take part in a school activity or express helpfulness to their peers and teachers. Since the first week in March, about 100 items have been “sold” to students.

“If you provide children with basic needs, such as clothing, they will be better able to focus on the learning material rather than pay too much attention to what they are wearing,” said Shannon Arko, a language teacher at the school, about the closet. “Feeling good about yourself translates into a better learning experience overall.”
