FINAL DAYS TO ORDER: Simpson 8th Grade Shirts



Each year the eighth grade has a shirt designed by one of our very own 8th grade designers.  The back of the shirt includes the names of all the 8th grade students. (Shirts are 100% cotton)   Shirts will be worn for all 8th grade activities throughout the school year.  All proceeds from this shirt will be used to support the 8th grade end of year dance.

 

In addition the PTSA is collecting funds on behalf of the 8th grade class to support the 8th grade dance.  We are suggesting that each family donate $25 to this fund but any amount is appreciated.
