Monday: "My future starts NOW!" Show your school pride by wearing your elementary school shirt.
Tuesday: "Show your true colors" Wear your favorite college school colors today
Wednesday: "College Shirt Day!" Where do you want to go to college? Wear your college shirt
Thursday: " I tip my hat to higher education" Wear your favorite college hat or cap to school
