8th Grade Outsiders Day Thursday, May 8, 2025 In honor of The Outsiders, we’re hosting a special “Outsiders Day” where students can dress up as either Greasers (like Ponyboy, Johnny, or Dally) or Socs (like Cherry, Bob, or Randy) while we watch the movie in class. It’s a fun, interactive way for students to bring the book to life and explore the historical context of the story. Participation is optional, and students are encouraged to get creative with their outfits while keeping it appropriate for school. Please remind your child to follow dress code guidelines and to focus on character-inspired fashion!
