What’s Purple Friday?
On designated Fridays (or Thursdays) students may wear
Ravens jerseys, shirts, or colors with their gym shorts or
gym pants and tennis shoes for a donation of 50 cents.

which the proceeds will be donated. Students also may

can wear t-shirts, socks, and hair accessories reflective
of that theme with their gym pants and tennis shoes.
