John Carroll Catholic High School

“Sock it to the Spartans” Sock Day

This week’s theme is “Sock it to the Spartans” as we are playing Pleasant Grove High School. We would like for students to be able to dress in “crazy socks” while at school and at the game Friday. Below are the guidelines:

“Sock it to the Spartans” out-of-uniform guidelines:

· Students will only be out-of-uniform from the knees down. There is no cost for this out-of-uniform day.

Crazy socks must be knee high length, and the brighter, the better!
Tennis shoes may be worn ONLY if crazy socks are worn.
All other school uniform pieces should follow the normal dress code.
Girls may wear either the uniform skirt or uniform shorts with crazy socks.
Boys may wear either the uniform shorts or uniform pants rolled up just below the knee with crazy socks.
Again, ALL guidelines related to the school uniform must be followed except for crazy socks and tennis shoes.

All participating students must receive a hand stamp in the Commons from 7:30am-7:50am.

At the football game, those students that wear their crazy socks to the game, sit in the student section by the band for the entire game, and show lots of school spirit will receive free pizza during the 4^th quarter!
