As you know, the kids are required to wear uniforms to school. Every so often, the school will host a special
Jean Day. It is usually linked with some type of a fund raising event. The students and the teachers are allowed to participate in
Jean Day by donating what ever the school is asking for. For the first
Jean Day event, all of the proceeds that were collected went towards St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Each student had to pay $2 to wear jeans. The school ended up earning over $2800.00.
This past Friday, the school hosted
Jean Day #2. Instead of donating money, the school supplied each student with a list of items. In order to wear jeans to school, each students had to bring in 2 or more items from the list. The items collected are going to be sent to the troops deployed in Afghanistan over the holiday season.
Jean Day is a very
BIG deal in our household!
