5 Positive Things about School Uniforms:

  1. Takes peer pressure off students to wear the latest top-of-the-line, brand-name clothing.
  1. No drama in the morning trying to figure out what to wear.
  1. Individuality is not lost. 5th & 6th graders actually want to dress alike rather than different. Students can show their individuality by their jewelry, tights, belts, shoes, shoelaces, socks, and hair! We have spirit days where students can dress up, and we also have Eblen Spirit Week. In addition, our PTO sponsors monthly global-themed T-shirt days.
  1. Uniforms will cost less than the latest top-of-the-line, brand-name clothing that students (parents) buy because of peer pressure.
        Increases a sense of belonging and school pride. (Think of athletic uniforms, band uniforms,            formal wear for chorus and strings, etc.)
