Spirit Fridays offer one day of relief

Steinmetz Star — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 23:12:37 +0000

By Ethan Miranda

“Spirit Fridays” will begin on Jan. 13, 2017.

Instead of the green polo and khakis uniform, students are allowed to wear any Steinmetz shirt, which could include sports, year group, clubs, OneGoal or ASM and jeans.

Many students said they were happy to have some relief. Others, like sophomore Joseph Torres, asked, “Why not everyday?”

“For students, the goal was to get rid of the uniforms for good, but what we got instead was one ‘spirit day,’” sophomore Jose Sanchez said. “Wait, let me rephrase that for our freshmen: That’s last year’s uniform.”
