Note that we are asking students to wear T-shirts in their grade level color. Students may wear a t-shirt from home, or you may purchase from a retailer. The shirt can have a design that is school appropriate. This is not a requirement and strictly voluntary. It not only looks awesome when students wear the same color, it makes it easy to identify students!
