Strut Your Stuff 2016

     Strut Your Stuff is an annual fashion show put on by Waukesha North Students. The fashion show reaches out to all different people in the community including getting all of the Waukesha High schools involved. The fashion show happens after multiple weeks of clothing drives, outfit making, and reaching out to the people in the community. Each year the event chooses a charity close to home to sponsor. This year's charity that Strut Your Stuff is sponsoring, is the Waukesha Women's Center. This means all of the clothes donated both in the show and clothes that were not featured on the runway are donated to the Women's Center.
      Strut Your Stuff also participates in many different fundraising activities to raise money for the charity, including restaurant events, and miracle minute at a basketball game and at the actual show. The group also sells T-shirts that say "Strut Your Stuff" on them and the charity they are sponsoring on the back. T-shirts may be pre-ordered before school at the school store from seven a.m. until eight a.m. The price of the shirts have not been determined yet due to price changing based off how many sales the group will make, the price will probably range between $10-$12. Shirts will still be available to purchase without pre-ordering, once they arrive but for a higher cost than the pre-ordered shirts.  Every Monday after the shirts have arrived will be a spirit day called "Maroon Monday." The group hopes everyone wears their Strut Your Stuff shirts on Mondays along with their Monday accessories  to promote the show.
     The show date will be Saturday June 4th at Waukesha North High School, until then you can bring in your gently used or new clothing items into the school store before school, or contact Sierra Gardner, Isabella Brazzoni, or Danielle Bowman. You can also sign up to be a model this week before school until Friday January 29th. Signing up to help at the show is open anytime until the show, if you need volunteer hours we will find something for you to do. For now clean out your closets and donate! See you June 4th!
