Whittier Spirit Wear Update
Thanks to all for your patience with Whittier Spirit Wear orders. Due to continued supply chain issues, items were delivered much later than anticipated with short shipped pieces that had to be procured from different vendors. The good news. 99.9% of the items have been received, printed and are in process of being sorted and bagged. The school will receive for delivery on Tuesday, December 14th through the method that was selected at checkout.
That said, embroidery items take longer than screen prints and may not be done for Tuesday’s delivery. If that turns out to be the case, there will be a second delivery to the school at the end of next week for all embroidered items, ensuring that they are received prior to winter break.
Again, THANK YOU for being so patient and kind with me – I sincerely believe the final products will be worth the wait and will bring smiles to our little Jaguars!
