Spirit Wear

Spirit wear purchases can be made by going to the link below. Order forms will also be sent home as well. Orders must be placed and paid for by December 8th if you wish to have the items before winter break. All items will be delivered to the school the week of December 18th and we will announce when everything is ready to go! If you are not concerned with the winter break cut off, you can feel free to order from the site at any time. There are no shipping costs as all orders will be delivered through the PTO to the school. In addition, the company producing our spirit wear can print or embroider just about anything! If there is something special you want that is not offered through the PTO sale, feel free to contact them directly for a special order at DaytonINPTO@gmail.com.
