Johnston Elementary School

Hello All, The 100th day of school is just around the corner. It is a day to celebrate all the new things learned this year. Our very own Cole Linkiewicz has designed a scrumdiddlyumptious shirt for this year's 100th day. It will have longs sleeves and a Willy Wonka theme. IMPORTANT INFO You can ship to the school (free shipping) where students will be given the shirt at school to take home. You can choose to have the shirt delivered directly to you (you will pay for shipping). If shipping to the school, please be sure to include your child's name AND teacher's name so we can deliver it to the right student. Be mindful that the order form will be closing on December 26th. It will NOT reopen to ensure we get our shirts here on time. Also, be mindful of the size you are choosing. The youth sizes will have a Y before the size. Shirts are to be worn on January 21st. Please use the link below to order the shirts from Custom Ink. I hope you join us in being proud of making it to 100 days of the most oompa loompa school year ever. https://www.customink.com/g/hnf0-00cc-mmub
