Dollar Jean Day

Many of you may have heard that we are trying out a new and exciting fundraiser that not only is fun for the kids, but benefits the POEC fundraising efforts.  On Friday September 9th students may pay $1 in cash or $1 in box tops and blue jeans instead of their normal uniform pants.  Because this is a trial run to see how the students and react and behave with such an event we are only allowing jeans and all students must continue to wear their uniform dress shirt.  On Thursday we will have volunteers outside of each school to allow students and parents to pre-purchase wrist bands for Friday's Dollar Jean Day.  Any student that pre-purchases a wrist band will not need to worry about getting one on Friday, but they must have the band on their wrist to qualify on Friday to wear jeans.  On Friday we will again have even more volunteers outside of each school to continue to collect dollars or $1 in box tops.  In order to speed things up outside the school we will be stamping kids hands to instead of putting on wrist bands.  Students can begin to purchase the bands on Thursday or receive the stamp on Friday starting at 8am and we will continue to sell until the bell rings and the students are invited inside.   The POEC will be screening the students to make sure they are wearing the appropriate clothing before they enter the school.  We are hoping that all students understand what the dress code will be and we need your help to make sure they follow the guidelines.  Students that are not wearing the appropriate jeans or do not have the $1 will be sent to the office to call home.

Students are allowed to wear BLUE jeans.  Not black, brown, white or any other color.  Blue jeans must NOT be overly baggy, have holes in them or be considered as "skinny" jeans.  If they would prefer not to pay the dollar then they can wear their normal school uniform.  Teachers may also wear blue jeans by paying the dollar or giving a $1 in box tops. 

Thank you for helping the POEC make this fundraiser be fun and a huge success!
