Uniforms and Supplies

We have several traditions at St. Mark’s that are unique to our community, including our red and blue spirit teams. This program, started in 2011, began as a way to promote school spirit and friendly competition. Families are assigned a color upon admission, and they retain that “red” or “blue” designation throughout their life here. We are careful to assign the same color for newly enrolled siblings so there will be no divided households. Throughout the year, we have several opportunities for students to earn points for their spirit team, from participating in our annual literary pumpkin decorating project, to field day activities, to reading challenges! Students may earn points for their spirit team throughout the year, and at the end of Spirit Week, the spirit team champion is announced.

To learn which color you are on, follow these simple steps:

1. Log in to your Portal Account

2. Select your child’s name in the top left hand corner

3. Click the “Contact Card” tab

4. Spirit Team color will display on the left side of the screen under “General Information”

A required part of the uniform for each Preschool 3s through 8th grade student is a spirit team t-shirt in either red or navy.  Our Explorers and Seekers are not required to purchase a spirit shirt, but most choose to do so to join in the fun!
