Jeans Day
The students at Sabrina's school wear uniforms. They have an informal uniform, a formal uniform and a PE uniform.
However, every Wednesday, the students have the option of wearing jeans instead of plaid shorts or PE shorts. But in exchange for the jeans, you have to "donate" one dollar to the school. If the parents do not want to donate, then their kids must come in the proper uniform.
Last year, the "donations" that the school received on Jeans Day were given to the tsunami victims. We were encouraged to donate more than $1. So, sometimes i would give more than the required dollar.
This schoolyear, the Jeans Day funds would go to the Katrina victims. Today, Sabrina donated $3. Last week, she donated $5.
If there were no disasters to support, the Jeans Day money would just go to the school - probably to purchase newer and better equipments, or maybe to re-decorate the classrooms, or maybe to buy more plants or something. I don't know. Whatever the purpose is, most of the kids still give the dollar during Jeans Day because they want to wear jeans.
I remember when i was in school, we would do anything to have "civilian" day. I'm sure the kids in Sabrina's school feel the same way.
