Blue Shirt Tuesday
So you may ask, what is Blue Shirt Tuesday??? Let me tell you how it started....
One Tuesday morning Mr. Luciano and I were standing in the Main Lobby waiting to greet our "Freshmen for a Day" visitors when a group of junior boys walked by all wearing blue dress shirts. Now the Union Catholic dress code school uniform allows the boys to wear any solid color dress shirt and tie, but it is very unusual to see a whole hallway of them all wearing blue on the same day. With a little investigation I quickly learned that these Junior boys decided that Tuesdays would be "Blue Shirt Days". Well before long I was getting reminder e-mails to wear Blue on Tuesdays. How quickly it became the "thing to do"...to show pride for your UC colors...wear blue on Tuesdays. Yes, Union Catholic students are proud of their school colors! So Class of 2014, when you are shopping for your school uniforms remember at least one (1) blue shirt!!
REMINDERS:
The Class of 2014 Mandatory Parent Meeting is scheduled for March 9th at 7:00 pm.
The Class of 2014 Lock-In is a week from Friday...March 12th so don't forget to RSVP to dluciano@unioncatholic.org.
The Union Catholic Performing Arts Company will be putting on Les Miserables the weekends of March 19th and March 26th ~ don't forget to reserve your three complimentary tickets.
And last but not least...Wear UC Blue on Tuesdays!!
