As summer comes to an end, schools throughout the Quad Cities begin preparing for another exciting school year. From welcoming new students to building school spirit, the weeks leading up to the first day of school are some of the busiest of the year.
At QC Custom Tees & More, we help schools simplify that process with custom apparel, online spirit wear stores, staff apparel, fundraising programs, and live on-site T-shirt printing during Backpack Night events.
Whether you’re a principal, athletic director, PTO, booster club, or school secretary, we’re here to make back-to-school easier.
School Spirit Starts Before the First Day of Class
Nothing builds excitement like students, parents, teachers, and staff wearing school apparel before classes even begin.
Custom spirit wear helps create:
- School pride
- Community involvement
- Staff unity
- Booster club fundraising
- A memorable first week of school
Online Spirit Wear Stores Make Ordering Easy
One of the most popular services we provide is our custom online spirit wear stores.
Instead of collecting paper order forms or handling cash, schools simply share a secure online store with families.
Parents can order anytime during the sale, choose from multiple apparel options, and pay online.
When the store closes, QC Custom Tees & More handles the rest.
Our online stores are especially popular:
- Back-to-School Spirit Wear Sales
- Christmas/Holiday Spirit Wear
- Spring Spirit Wear Refreshes
- Athletic teams
- Clubs & organizations
- Teacher appreciation
- PTO and booster club fundraisers
Schools love them because they’re easy to manage—and families love the convenience.
