This can create a sense of community throughout the building.
Core Components

Culturally responsive
Collaboratively created
Proactive Implementation
Giving all students a spirit shirt at the beginning of the year is not only the proactive approach but the most equitable. This allows for a level playing field for them any spirit events occur down the line.
Responsive Implementation
Responsively distributing spirit shirts may stem from a need for connection. This may look like providing specific students, groups, or classes shirts to promote this connection.

Connection
If the need is connection then the shirts themselves create a sense of belonging to something.
Skills Training
If the need is skill building then the shirt message may be a mantra or other skill for the students to practice.
Awareness
If the need is awareness then a direct connection to the importance and significance of the shirts should be explicitly communicated.
Emotional Regulation
If the need is regulation then the shirts may have a message that the students are asked to repeat to themselves as a mantra for when they need to regulate.
