Hi Tammy!

Something I do with labeling my sons clothes for school is I get a unique 
colored tape and then put a piece of it on the tag or inside of the clothing 
if it's something like a jacket. I'm able to write print letters from memory 
which is helpful but if you are not able to hand print letters you can 
always do a unique thing like write a X or put a dot of puffy paint on the 
tape. something that will easily identify that the item is your child's 
clothes is all the school needs.  They make tape in every color and every 
design imaginable. You can find a plethora of options in the craft section 
of nearly any box store. You could pick up zebra tape for example and 
everyone will know that the zebra tape is on only your child's clothing. 
Hope this helps!

Erin

Depend On God!!!
