School Clothing

It’s school clothing order time again! We are once again selling Elm Street hoodies, long sleeved shirts, tshirts, sweatpants and winter hats for this order. All prices are on the order form. Grade 6 students can add the “26” with class signatures to the back of their item for an additional cost. There will be some items on display during Parent/Teacher interviews outside the office.

All order forms and money (cash or cheque made out to Elm Street Elementary) are due to the school on NOVEMBER 24, 2025. Please send completed order forms and money to your child’s teacher. We are doing our best to have orders back in time for Christmas, but there are no guarantees.

If you have any questions, please check in with Ms. Jolena (jxmalone@edu.pe.ca) or Ms. Coulson(vkcoulson@edu.pe.ca).
