Students issued new sweatshirts

Pupils at Coleman High School, Texas have been issued with new sweatshirts designed by a former art teacher at the school.

The red and black sweatshirts feature a knight's helmet - depicting the Coleman Knights - and are printed with a banner of the school's name, reports the Midland Reporter-Telegram.

Sweatshirts were given out to students in the canteen and this is the first item of school uniform that has been issued.

A grouping between the Santa Maria Virgin Episcopal Church and the school facilitated the introduction of school sweatshirts, principal Greg McDaniel told the newspaper, indicating the church has "done a lot to boost the morale of students ... and get students involved".

The partners were keen to introduce a school sweatshirt and enlisted the help of retired art teacher Roland Rose, who also designs t-shirts for the Episcopal church camp.

"He [Mr McDaniel] wanted it to be red with black lettering as a sign of solidarity and belonging. I think the kids will wear them proudly," Josie Rose, priest at Santa Maria Virgin Episcopal Church, told the newspaper.

Recently, the St Louis Post Dispatch reported that a US-based charity is set to provide free school sweatshirts to children in St Louis.
