Just a reminder to place your orders for Ross/Yates Spirit Wear before the online shop closes TOMORROW! Shirts will be delivered to the school before Christmas break. If you are buying a gift & want to keep it a surprise, email sstone@clevelandschools.org with the name you ordered under & we will hold your shirts in the office for you to pick up instead of sending home with your student.
We are looking forward to having Spirit Wear Fridays next semester. Thank you for supporting our school & showing your school pride!
