Funded Dec 31, 2016Thank you again for your generous donations. The students were very eager to receive their shirts. Once I double checked their sizes for the order, students approached me daily to ask when the t shirts would come. The company that we ordered the t shirts from was very prompt and they arrived within two weeks of your donation. The t shirt design was exactly what I had anticipated.
Roll out of the shirts went smoothly and everybody was happy with their size. What was amazing was the students choosing to taking off their collared uniform shirts (if they had something under them) and putting the new t shirt on or students just putting the new t shirt over the uniform or going to the rest room to change out of the old shirt and put on the new shirt. The day of the roll out I would guess that 75 of the 87 students were wearing their shirts.
Since the arrival of the t shirts we have had much less uniform refusal, which infraction is cause for lunch detention and loosing points in our level system. Students now have that extra shirt in case the other is in the laundry. They much prefer the t shirt over the collared shirt. All in all this project was a great success and it was made possible by you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Parino
