Hey Spartans! Tomorrow is 6th & 7th Grade Day and it included free dress. Here are the rules:
Make sure your shorts are fingertip length or longer, no leggings, no hoodies, and no slides. CPSB dress code still applies, and backpacks need to stay at home! Sneakers are your best bet for all the fun ahead, and don’t forget to bring a water bottle and wear sunscreen—it’s going to be HOT! We can’t wait to see you all looking cool and staying cool. It’s going to be an awesome day!
