There has been no change made to the dress code since August, but here are some reminders...

WHAT IS SCHOOL MALL???
Our school is participating in the SchoolMall program this year. This online program helps our school earn cash without having students selling door-to-door, collecting money or delivering products. Over 400 merchants, including Sears, Target and WalMart, have joined together to offer up to 50% of sales to our school for shopping through SchoolMall.com.
Your participation is the key to a successful program for our school. Your child will receive a packet with more information and post cards to return for school credit. We will receive a guaranteed $2.25 per 11 postcards returned and ready to mail to family and friends. These postcards will be mailed with a brochure offering over 250 family magazines and other specialty items, along with instructions on how to shop at www.schoolmall.com. When two items are ordered from the brochure, your student will earn the "Glow-In-The-Dark" Super Mario and Friends shirt. Every student who returns the booklet marked "Yes" will be entered in a drawing, held in May, for a Family Vacation to Orlando, Florida. Also, every child returning their completed postcard booklet will receive a special gift. We need all postcards completed and turned in by December 18, 2012.
To shop, simply go to www.schoolmall.com and select our school. We hope you enjoy the SchoolMall website and we look forward to kicking-off our SchoolMall campaign.
