Casual days:
Fridays will be casual/dress-up days. However, good judgment applies on these days also, i.e. no trashy clothing such as ripped tee shirts, ripped pants, bare midriffs, etc. The standards listed above will still apply.

Donation of outgrown uniforms:
Parents are encouraged to donate the uniforms that their children outgrow to the school. There will be a designated place in the school where these items are kept and throughout the school year parents and students will be reminded of this “closet” so that they do not throw out uniforms that no longer fit. Recycling uniforms helps to strengthen the program, ensures that all students can participate, and teaches children the value of giving.
