The Story Behind This Site
Every year at Bemis, the pile of lost clothes, snow pants, boots, mittens and other personal items amazes me. That is... until my daughter went to elementary school. I'd notice she was missing things, but I couldn't go into her school to look through the over-flowing container of lost items, and it was impossible for her to find things herself. My daughter created an action plan about it because she thought there had to be a better way. Her solution? A virtual Lost and Now Found website. I thought she came up with a wonderful idea, so I decided I would bring her idea to life at Bemis.
How It Works
I hope Lost and Now Found is helpful to you.

How It Works
- The idea of Lost and Now Found is that pictures of the lost items will be on the website along with a brief description.
- You can search by four categories: clothes, lunch items, winter items and miscellaneous.
- If you see an item that is your child's, you can direct your child to go pick it up from the lost and found at Bemis the next day.
- If your child ends up retrieving his or her lost item, it's very important that you claim your item. Under the picture of the item that you are claiming please post your child's first name, last initial and classroom teacher. This will allow us to remove the item from the website and help keep our site accurate. If your child has not come and retrieved the item in a few days, we can get it to your child's classroom.
I hope Lost and Now Found is helpful to you.
