AUBURN, Ala. - At Schmid Elementary on Chicago's South Side, the school colors of blue and white now include a third option. Orange, as in Auburn orange.
"When we have Spirit Day, they all wear their Schmid things, they'll also wear their Auburn shirts, and say 'This is now a Schmid shirt,'" says Schmid principal Andrea Black. "They can wear all of their Auburn, all of their orange, to offset that blue and white."
Especially for Schmid's fifth-graders who visited Auburn in September 2015 as third-graders.
