https://samlivingstion2026.itemorder.com/shop/sale/

Please note that purchasing Sam Swag is always optional and never mandatory for families.

Each of our students is placed into a grouping called a “Famille”, a “family” here at Sam Livingston. Each “Famille” is represented by a specific colour (Purple, Blue, Yellow or Green). Students are invited to wear their Famille colour every Friday to build school spirit and comradery between all of the grades. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you are unsure of your child's Family colour – all siblings in the family have the same colour.

Some sizes will be available for trial at the Welcome Back BBQ on September 24^th.
