New Uniforms Coming for 2020-2021 School Year; Uniform Fashion Show on Friday, March 27 at 8:15 a.m.BES students and parents will have an opportunity to see our new ESJ uniforms for 2020-2021 shown off in a fun way at a special Uniform Fashion Show in the church sanctuary on Friday, March 27 at 8:15 a.m. Parents are welcome to attend to see the new designs being shown by some of our students. We have been working with Mills Uniform Company to come up with our preferred designs, colors, and options for our students. Students must wear uniform items only from Mills starting in the 2020-2021 school year. This applies to students from Pre-K 3 to 5th grade. Land’s End will no longer be a uniform provider for the school. However, khaki bottoms may be purchased at the store of your choice and are not required to come from Mills. In addition to the fashion show, Mills, the provider of our uniforms, will offer Meet and Greets/Fittings for BES parents on the BES campus in April and then Uniform Sales Mobile Events at BES in the summer for parents to purchase uniforms for their students.
