Purchase Process: Important – Please read

Students need to bring a check made out to Lakota West Upbeat Club, or cash to pay for their uniform items. Items not paid for will not be issued until payment is received. You may also pay via PayPal on our website (CHARMS). If payment is made via PayPal, bring the receipt to fitting day as proof of payment. The students need their summer uniforms on Friday August 11, so parents must bring payment on fitting day in order for the student to be ready on Friday in their summer uniform.

Special Note for Freshmen:

Freshman Orientation is on the same nights as Uniform Fittings. If your section’s time conflicts with Orientation, please come over after Orientation to be fitted for uniforms. If you do not have a conflict, please come with your section as scheduled. Uniform Fittings are at Main Campus.

Toledo Trip Fundraiser runs through August 9

We are excited about our Toledo Trip this year and to help reduce the cost we are running a new fundraiser selling 24oz Tumblers, including a custom West design. Each tumbler is $20, $8 goes to the Upbeat Club and will be used to offset the costs of the trip. We are asking each student to sell at least 15 cups. They will have until August 9th to continue selling and collect money. All orders and payments are due August 9. More information on our website – click here to see all the Tumbler options available.
