Long Island problems.
Middle schoolers in Great Neck take their fashion very seriously. In fact, an expensive Moncler beanie, which boasts a price tag of up to $350, is no longer welcome at Great Neck North Middle School.
The hat, while popular among students, has been causing a distraction at the school, administrators say.

In a letter to parents obtained by the New York Post, Great Neck North Middle School administrators wrote: “We understand that fashion is very important to our middle schoolers. However, we have had many students who have worn their Moncler Winter Pom Pom hats to school, and either lost or misplaced them. We need your help! Please try and redirect your middle schooler from wearing these hats to school. It has consumed a great deal of our time trying to locate these missing hats, and it has been disruptive to the students’ focus and time as well."
