That's the reason for music."

Uniform Shirt Washing Instructions
These are the specific instructions we need you to follow to ensure that your shirt is in the best shape possible all season:
- Do not wad the shirt into a ball. Try to keep it loosely folded or hung.
- Wash the shirt each time you wear it. Sweat will stain the fabric if it is left.
- Hand wash, or use the delicate cycle on the machine, with cold water & mild detergent. Wash separately from other items
- If washing in the machine, turn the shirt wrong side out. For added protection, you may place the shirt in a lingerie bag.
- Lay flat or hang to dry. Do not wring excess water out or machine dry. Gently squeeze the excess water out before hanging or laying out to dry.
- No bleach
- No fabric softeners
- Do not rub fabric together. If hand washing, gently squeeze the detergent and water through the fabric.
- Do not iron or dry clean
Uniform Washing Instructions
Bib, vest and jacket
- Carefully remove the silver circle piece attached to the outside of the vest and set aside
- Zip all zippers and turn all pieces inside out
- Using your delicate cycle wash in cold water Use only detergent (no bleach, no fabric softener)
- Hang to dry
- Reattach the silver circle piece to the vest by threading it carefully through the fabric loops
- To do this, pull the name card from the garment bag. The back of the card lists all pieces checked out to your student. The numbers on the card should match the numbers on tags found in each uniform part.
- If he/she has a uniform part that does not belong to them please email Deb McArthur at themcarthur4@gmail.com and all parts will be re-administered to the appropriate student.
- All pieces can then be re-bagged and returned to school.
