West Seattle Elementary recently partnered with local screen printing shop, Rain City West Screen Printing, to create spirit wear to boost school pride among staff and student body. The school huskie mascot made up the design, and was hand drawn by one of the West Seattle Elementary students.

The design was printed on over 300 sweatshirts and t-shirts in adult and youth sizes.

“The fabric of the shirts and hoodies were of great quality and true to size. The shirts were a huge hit among staff and students. Our school can now show its pride and will hopefully have its first Spirit Day soon. Staff and students alike look great in their WSE Husky Gear” said Amber S., 1st Grade teacher.

The spirit wear project was led by the West Seattle Elementary PTA. This was their first time producing spirit wear for the school. West Seattle Elementary serves more than 85% free and reduced lunches.

To ensure that the spirit wear could be afforded by all families, Rain City West Screen Printing donated design and printing time to help lower the cost of the sweatshirts and t-shirts.
