Here is something I love about my kid’s high school. Every student is given a “Red Sea” t-shirt at registration. Early on, new students are told “On Fridays we wear red!” And by and large, they do. They all have something red because every single kid gets a shirt.
These pictures are from a couple of the school’s Instagram accounts. One is of the seniors waiting to welcome the new students this morning. Wearing their link crew shirts. A uniform of sorts. (My kid is buried in there somewhere.)
The other is of the student body. You’ll see some other colors in there, but there’s a lot of red.
I love this.
Giving students shirts to wear on the first day (and every week thereafter) takes away a tiny bit of anxiety about what to wear. It makes sure everyone fits in, no matter their economic situation. It helps students feel they belong, right from the start.
