PARENTS CORNER SVDP Spirit Wear Campaign IS Coming: uniforms delivered the first week of September

Our e-store will be OPEN from June 3rd to July 31st: https://varsitycanada.com/schools/svdp/

Knowing that parents often do uniform shopping over the summer to get ready for the start of school, the timing of this campaign

means that orders will be delivered the first week back to school in September.

Reasons to purchase Spirit Wear?

1. It’s all navy and white and so your children can wear it as their school uniform.

2. Why should our kids have all the fun and spirit – the whole family can get their own cool SVDP gear.

3. 10% of all money raised goes back to our children to be used for learning enrichment and experiential opportunities, technology,

and classroom and gym resources.

**NEW THIS CAMPAIGN**:

1. We heard from parents that they would like the option of purchasing items with “SVDP” as well as “WOLVES” and so this

campaign included both, in an effort to meet everyone’s wants. A big thank-you to Shane Madden, SVDP school parent, for his

great work on the SVDP logo.

2. We also have women’s fit tops this time round. No more boxy tops for mom!
