The 8th graders have a long tradition here at SPMS to make the panoramic picture extra special by dressing fancy for the photo. All students need to dress in accordance with the school dress code.
8th grade boys:
Please wear a collared shirt with a tie and slacks, khakis, or dress pants.
No T-shirts or jeans.
8th grade girls:
Please wear a nice blouse or collared shirt with khakis, dress pants, or a skirt.
Dresses are another option.
No T-shirts or jeans.
So guys grab a tie and show some swagger. Girls, a pretty blouse or cute dress is sure to make a statement. 8th graders, let’s all dress to impress and show the school that the class of 2019 has got real style!
