Dear Parents,
This summer, we want to hear from you! If your family is taking a unique vacation or your student is volunteering somewhere, playing sports, attending camp - send us a photo and let us know what you're up to! You may be featured on our social media channels. In order to be considered, we do need your student's media release on file. You can find and print that form here, to be signed by you (the parent) and returned to the office. To submit your summer photos, you can email them to our Marketing & Communications Director, Liz Reardon at [email protected].
Uniforms
The Cardinal Newman uniform provider is Local Boy Outfitters. They have a retail location at 419 Huger St. in downtown Columbia. We encourage new families to visit the store initially to ensure proper sizing. They are currently open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm. You can also purchase items on-line by clicking the button at the bottom of this email. If you have questions about sizing or individual pieces, you can call them at (803) 726-0144.
Things to note about uniforms:
-
We have officially moved to the shield logo (seen at the top of this email), however, Local Boy will sell the older block CN items until they run out. These will be allowed this school year.
-
Black Polos are acceptable for seniors only. Red and gray polos may be worn by all grade levels. White polos are no longer being sold, but are still allowed to be worn as part of the uniform this year, if you are already in possession of one.
-
Ladies skorts and skirts are to be no shorter than 3" above the knee. We suggest that if you have a skirt hemmed, leave enough fabric to let it back out as your student grows taller. This will extend the life of these uniform pieces.
-
Dress uniforms are required for all students on days we celebrate Mass; typically every Wednesday, unless noted otherwise. The formal dress uniform for girls includes the plaid skirt, CN embroidered white button-down shirt, sweater vest, solid black tights and black dress shoes. For boys it includes khaki pants, CN embroidered white button-down shirt, CN tie or bow-tie, belt, dark socks and dress shoes.
