The school uniform is a great equalizer.

It's a signal to our girls that they are at school to learn, to challenge themselves, and to make friends — not to worry about having the newest shoes or right pair of jeans. Free dress creates unnecessary stress for parents and children, and can cause needless conflict and distractions in class.

Middle school is naturally a time of transition and anxiety for girls that can only be exacerbated by concerns about fashion and fitting in. Keeping the uniform is one simple way we can help them make a healthy transition from girls to young women.

So help us petition NCS to keep the uniform for Middle School!
