Note:
Though only students in grade 5 and 6 are required to wear MPA logo clothing for gym, there are times during the year when we have “Spirit Days” and allow students to wear blue and white or MPA logo clothing. If you wish to purchase an MPA T-shirt or sweatshirt, they are available at the Used Uniform sale and throughout the year in the Lower School Office.

Any printing on shirts, sweats, etc. must be in good taste. Any dispute regarding physical education clothing is at the discretion of the physical education teacher.
All student clothing and equipment should be clearly marked with the student’s name.
