New Spirit Wear Store Now Open
The PSO is pleased to announce that we've moved our online spirit wear store to Ink'd Threads. Check out our newly revamped designs and colors. We have TWO new maroon hoodies that are uniform approved to wear to school every day! Look for the "Uniform Approved" designation in the item description - you don't have to wait for Spirit Day at the end of the month to rock your new hoodie.
Helpful Tip: When you check out, please select USPS standard shipping, or UPS ground/next day shipping. Ink'd Threads' free "Shop Pick-up" option is only available for schools in the Greenville, NC area.
Each week in the newsletter we'll feature a new spirit wear item. New this year, we have "Pick Your Logo/Sport" shirts available in cotton and performance tees in maroon, hot pink, black and gray. You can customize your Monarchs spirit shirt by picking your favorite sport or club! Does your kid love cheer, basketball, baseball, softball, lacrosse, volleyball, cross country, soccer, or golf? We have a spirit shirt for you! We now also feature band and chess club! Better yet, the "Pick Your Logo/Sport" option is also available in a maroon hoodie that is uniform approved, so your musician, chess player or athlete can support their favorite team or activity every day. The colored t-shirts are only for Spirit Days, but the maroon hoodie may be worn to school with the uniform.
