Physical Education Uniform

The proper physical education uniform may be purchased at Blake's. Each part of the school uniform carries the Holy Name School name or logo. Blue is the color of the gym uniform, but those who purchased gray uniforms may wear them until they are outgrown. Uniforms may be worn to school on any P.E. day unless there is a Mass. Then, the uniforms are to be carried to school and changing time will be allowed. Sneakers may be worn to school during the periods of time when the weather is pleasant.
During the winter months, or inclement weather a second pair of sneakers must be carried to school in order to preserve the gym floor. This rule will be strictly enforced and no child will be allowed to participate in physical education class with wet sneakers.

IMPORTANT please note that Blake's is the exclusive outfitter of our school uniforms. The entire uniform for both boys and girls is available there.
