The School District of Washington and St. Francis Borgia High School are committed to providing exceptional learning experiences for students at all levels. Through "Blue Friday”, we hope to create a strong sense of community and encourage positive school spirit that resonates throughout the community.
This initiative embodies the idea that education is a collaborative endeavor where students, teachers, parents, and the wider community all play essential roles. By wearing blue every Friday, we show our young learners that we are steadfast in our support for their aspirations, achievements, and dreams regardless of the institution they attend.
Mayor Doug Hagedorn expressed enthusiasm for the "Blue Friday" initiative, stating, “I wholly support this wonderful initiative that aims to unite Washington in supporting local students and schools, fostering a strong sense of pride and commitment to both parochial and public education and sends a powerful message of solidarity and support for the young minds in our community. By doing so, we are expressing our unwavering dedication to the success of students in both their academic and extracurricular pursuits.”
Parents, teachers, and community members can help spread the word about "Blue Friday" through social media using the hashtag #BlueFridayWashMO, sharing stories of how education has impacted their lives, and photos of themselves donning blue attire each Friday.
We invite all members of the community to join us in making "Blue Friday" a resounding success. Together, let us celebrate and uplift our Washington students, demonstrating that we stand behind them every step of the way.
