85% Club T-Shirt- No Merit Pay for You Slacker!

The "85% Club" Participation Trophy Tee

So, the district found money for a new "synergy-themed" mural in the lobby, but miraculously ran out of funds right when your performance bonus was supposed to hit? Welcome to the club. The 85% Club.

This shirt is for the educator who consistently hits that sweet spot of "Nearly Good Enough" for the bean counters, while actually doing 110% of the work for the kids. If you didn't get a bonus this year, consider this your unofficial, self-funded consolation prize.

Why you deserve this (since you didn't get the check):

The "Nearly Good Enough" Banner: A direct shout-out to that arbitrary percentage the board uses to justify keeping the surplus. It’s not a failing grade; it’s a lifestyle choice born of systemic underfunding.
The "B-" Aesthetic: Look closely at that 85% paper. It’s a badge of honor. It says, "I provided a high-quality education, but I didn't fill out the optional 40-page 'Impact Reflection' form, so I'm staying in the 'B' tier of the payroll."
Chaos-Infused Design: Featuring coffee, crumpled papers, and scientific beakers—because your classroom is a beautiful disaster that no standardized metric can actually capture.
Premium Comfort, Budget Reality: We used a fabric soft enough to wipe away the tears of looking at your bank account after a "bonus-free" December.

Best worn to: * The mandatory staff meeting where they announce the "record-breaking district surplus."

Happy hour with the rest of the 85%ers.
Parent-teacher conferences to subtly lower their expectations of your financial tax bracket.

You might not be the "Top 5%," but you’re 100% done with the nonsense.

This soft, durable tee carries a bright, playful graphic that reads “The 85% Club” surrounded by travel and curiosity motifs — maps, a globe, a compass and little adventure trinkets. It feels like a nod to people who celebrate steady progress, lifelong learning, and the small wins on the road to big goals. Wear it on casual days, at study sessions, or while planning the next trip. The relaxed crew neck and classic cut let the artwork sit front-and-center, while the sturdy cotton holds color and shape through repeat wears. The overall vibe is warm, optimistic, and quietly proud — a shirt for those who value progress over perfection.
