Proposals

Uniform Proposal 11.15.2012 Student Council      
     This proposal is regarding Sacred Heart's dress code.  I understand we have a set dress code of which isn't very lenient which is why the Student Council would like to suggest some additional features to the dress code we believe will benefit the students and the school as a whole.  The Student Council would like to propose an idea that will help promote the school, make money for the school, and also meet the desires of the student body.  We are proposing to sell more Sacred Heart attire in the bookstore such as team jackets, nice (comfortable) sacred heart sweaters (different from the blue ones),   and school fleeces.  We believe that these items, if sold in the bookstore, will not only bring in money but also promote the school.  As of right now not many students wear Sacred Heart attire outside of school, and if this is passed we believe many students will wear these items because of their comfort, warmth, and style.  Obviously we are not asking for a huge change to the uniform, just a slight addition to it that allows the student body to have a few more options not only for style and comfort but also for  warmth.  Many schools such as Archbishop Williams High School in Braintree have instituted this into their dress code so students will buy the clothing for profits, wear the clothing to promote the school, and also wear it to show school spirit (as displayed in their student handbook at awhs.org). For these reasons the Student Council would like to make a formal proposal that will hopefully be carefully thought over and passed.   Thank you for your time.



Evidence Provided

All dress code options presented abide by the Sacred Heart Handbook that states that “All students are expected to be neat, clean, and presentable.”

Hard copies of requested options for new lands end sweaters are available on request. The current sweaters are uncomfortable and provide no warmth for the cold winter days. All options are available in the school color of TRUE NAVY or CLASSIC NAVY. All sweaters are also available for monograms. These options give students more freedom to express their style while looking professional and still abiding by the current dress code regulations.

Archbishop Williams High School dress code regulations are available online. It states that “AWHS fleece jackets and AWHS team jackets are approved outerwear.” Student council proposes that school outerwear like Letterman jackets, athletic warm-ups, and school sweatshirts to be worn on cold winter days during school. The jackets are clean and presentable, and also promote the school if students wear them with pride in different locations after school.

Seeing this kind of movement is overwhelming because the initial silence was difficult to bear. We have enough momentum now that they cannot simply ignore us when I walk into that meeting room.

The administration keeps sending me back and forth between offices. It is exhausting to keep explaining why a simple sweater option matters but I am not dropping this.

Finally!! About time they fix the dress code. The current options are outdated and look awful on everyone.

I really hope they add a hoodie or at least something softer. Would be so much better for winter.

The sweaters we have now are so itchy and uncomfortable. It is impossible to focus in class when you feel like you are wearing sandpaper.
