The atmosphere was electric at EcoExeter’s student clothes swap on Wednesday afternoon.
With over 100 students signed up to participate, their ticket in, was a donation – and a wide variety of clothes, books, games, and electronics were up for grabs.
Ryan Marsh, president of the club said that the turnout exceeded his expectations.

Ryan says that there were a few hot ticket items that had kids excited while they were lining up, before they had even gone through the stock.

Teacher Amanda Keller said that the students really took ownership of the event, and set it all up with little help from staff.

The group hopes to run more clothes swaps in the future, and why wouldn’t they! All the remaining items will be donated to local second hand stores, making it a win for students looking to clean out their closets, and for those looking for something a little bit different.
