Spirit Wear
We’re excited to offer a wonderful resource for our school community! If your child is in need of gently used school spirit wear, we encourage you to have your child come and see Mrs. Biddle and/or Ms. Lloyd. We have a selection of T-shirts and some hoodies.
This initiative aims to ensure that every student can show their school spirit, regardless of their circumstances. Please have your student come down to Mrs. Biddle and Ms. Lloyd's office.
