Spirit Wear

You can purchase from spirit wear inventory in the gym at Meet the Teacher for tax-free pricing! If we don't have your shirt size at Meet the Teacher, don't worry! The shirts were very popular so you will have another opportunity to order a shirt in your size. The second order will be delivered to your child's classroom and is estimated to arrive late September.

If you pre-ordered your spirit wear July 1-22, those will be available for pick up at Meet the Teacher.

Questions: Contact Jessica at spiritwear@mgepta.org
