We had a "tacky day" that week back when I was in highschool. Except it was for clothes. I think they've replaced it with the dress like a cowboy day, since that's one of two we didn't have back when I was in school. (For the record, I went to a private grade school, and only got to go to the public middle school for one year before going to the highschool. My two yougest sisters have gotten to go to the public schools since Kindergarden.) I remember wearing a pair of black pants, a white dress shirt, and my favorite tie that day. I always did the opposite of what they wanted us to do. Except the last day, when we could wear Halloween Costumes. ;-)
