September 2025

Dear Prescott Families:

Prescott Parents and Principal Roche together will again launch a UNIFORM FREE OPTION (UFO) Fundraiser. UFO is meant to be a fun day for the students of Prescott and by contributing, each students get the opportunity to dress out of uniform. This year, UFO will be every Friday of every month (if school is in session), starting September 12th.

THE STANDARD UFO RATE IS $28/STUDENT TO COVER 1 YEAR’S WORTH OF UFO.

Last year: in an unprecedented wave of generosity, families donated extra so that every student could participate in UFO. Due to this generosity, we have added a donations section on Givesmart PrescottUFO25 so that families can pay-it-forward.

To honor our commitment to equity, WE WILL NOT TURN AWAY STUDENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD UFO. If you would like to participate, but cannot pay the full $28, select reduced UFO and pay what you can afford to cover a full years worth of UFO days.

·       This option is available on the Prescott Parents website using the Donate button — PrescottUFO25.  

·       All student names MUST be added in the optional memo at payment as noted in the attached instructions.

Email Prescott Parents with questions — prescottschoolchicago@gmail.com

Some things to keep in mind:  UFO is meant to be a fun day for the students of Prescott. Clothing worn on UFO Day also must be appropriate.  If you do not know if it is appropriate, DO NOT wear it.  Any student without appropriate clothing will need to change into a school uniform.  He or she will also not receive a refund for the Pass.

Prescott Parents will use the funds raised for numerous projects within the school to help the gaps in the budget.

Remember the first UFO day is September 12, 2025!

Please contact Prescott Parents at prescottschoolchicago@gmail.com or Principal Roche at 773.534.5505 with any questions.

Sincerely,

Prescott Parents                                 Erin Roche
