Wear your favorite pajamas, they must be school-appropriate
Write your “white lie” on a t-shirt, such as “I’m a natural blonde” while having dyed hair. Nothing offensive, insulting, or mentions of drugs or alcohol phrases
Wear your favorite pink clothing, accessories, etc. It must be appropriate for school
Must be an object you can carry, avoid things with wheels (such as shopping carts or canoes)
Wear your Gray Stone spirit!

"Wesley is a hard worker who constantly engages in class discussions and takes responsibility for his schoolwork. He is not afraid to ask questions and get help if needed. His integrity is exemplary. He is willing to help his fellow classmates and any teacher who asks him to complete a task. An overall amazing young man."
