Hello Amy!
Replying to a message of Amy Ballantyne to Paul Sayan:
 AB> expensive.  Like I said, every school we checked (private that is)
 AB> that required uniforms had uniforms that were way too expensive.  I
 AB> hope things get different here in Utah.
When our public elementary schools have gone to uniforms, they have been very 
simple:
white blouse or shirt 
plaid skirt or pants
sweater
The parents have gotten together and sewn the skirts and pants.  White 
blouses and shirts have been obtained in mass quantities, has have the 
sweaters.  If 800 parents go together and by several of each, the cost is 
drastically reduced.
They have also created a closet, where outgrown uniforms are kept.  Your kid 
outgrows, or enters school, you simply go to the closet and find some your 
size.  
And as a result, the cost is minimal.
