    What counts as Jagwear?
    • Official Jagwear apparel, the Physical Education (PE) uniform, Field Day t-shirts and/or any other official school related apparel that has been sold in the past to promote school spirit.
    If I am a new student, faculty or staff member, or have outgrown my Jagwear, what can I wear?

    • It is NOT a requirement to wear Jagwear on Jagwear Fridays.
    • Students:  If you do not own Jagwear, students should wear their PE uniform or academic uniform. Students can also opt to wear solid-colored red and blue clothes with no patterns or logos.
    • Faculty and staff:  Faculty and staff without Jagwear should dress as they normally do. They are encouraged (but not required) to wear a mix of our school colors, red (maroon) and blue (navy).

    Organized by: The KFPA

    Help raise money for KFPA programming (movie nights, dances, potlucks, BBQs, etc). The fundraiser is 100% contactless. The KFPA will keep 50% of the profits and the product will ship directly to the buyer.

    Create a Pop-Up Store and sell Double Good popcorn. Prices for Signature Bags (5 cups each) start at $11 and Curated Collections at $31. The popcorn is ultra- premium, delicious, and award-winning!

    Before the fundraiser begins:
    1. Download the Double Good app.
    2. Enter our event code FJLSFD in the app.
    3. Create your Pop-Up Store The app is available for  free on iOS and Android.
    The top selling class in each division will win a pizza party. The first 100 Store sign-ups will receive a goodie bag.

    How to promote your fundraiser:
    1. Be sure to tell everyone - there is no shame in asking neighbors. You only have 4 days, so get the word  out as fast as you can.
    2. Get creative. Even though your storefront is virtual,  you can still have fun establishing a physical storefront. Set up shop, and have signs with instructions on how to buy. Include a QR code for people to easily pull up your store and buy popcorn!
    3. Promote your link!! Do not forget to include your unique URL everywhere you can. When posting to  Instagram, be sure to add the link sticker in your story  because it’s the fastest, easiest way to drive traffic.
