for the tie die shirts. We have 100 shirts and a few

using all the shirts there is an event in the fall that
could be used then. We are requesting the shirts to
allow for more participation in the entire carnival

die shirts.

within the CTMO, that teaches
students about consent it is a carnival,

after they have completed all the
activities.
