Dressed for Success: Grade-Level Uniforms for JMS Scholars
Help me give my students these clothing items to build a culture of pride, focus, and academic success. We promote this through our school-wide uniform policy, which supports equity, reduces distractions, and helps students feel part of something bigger.

My Project
At JMS, we build a culture of pride, focus, and academic success. We promote this through our school-wide uniform policy, which supports equity, reduces distractions, and helps students feel part of something bigger.
Each grade at JMS wears a distinct color to promote identity and school spirit:
6th Grade – Red Shirts
7th Grade – White or Gray Shirts
8th Grade – Black Shirts
Unfortunately, some students come from families facing financial hardship and cannot afford to purchase the required uniforms. This leads to students feeling left out, being disciplined for dress code violations, or even missing school.
We are seeking your support to provide grade-specific uniform shirts and basic bottoms (khaki pants/skirts) for students in need. This will help them start each day with dignity, confidence, and focus—ready to learn and succeed.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
