Faith Lutheran School Logo Shirt
Each student in Grade K - 8 will be required to have a white polo shirt with the Faith Lutheran School logo on it. Students int he high school must have a gold polo shirt with the Faith Lutheran High School logo. The shirts may be worn anytime but would be required for most field trips and special events on and off campus.
This has been implemented in order to generate a feeling of belonging and pride in our school and it will help to identify and keep track of our students more easily when they are off campus representing Faith Lutheran School. In order to insure uniformity the shirts must be purchased from Faith Lutheran school. Orders for logo shirts may be placed on Records Day or throughout the school year in the school office.
