The purpose is to dress up in a manner that reflects who you are, what you like to do, and just really anything about yourself so we get to know you better. For example, Mr. Newett likes to run, so I would wear some kind of running gear. Hats are fine, so if you have a hat that reflects who you are, then wear the hat. 9. Birthday wishes this week go out to Lauren Billings, Ethan Boynton, Bettina Bresinski, Relic Concepcion, Liliana Francis, Tucker Harrington, and Alexandra Smith. 10. Remember, there is no morning break in the cafeteria this year, so please eat breakfast when you arrive around 7:30AM.
