Donations for Class Banners
| The class of 2010 began what promises to become a new RM tradition, by collecting donations for and creating a class banner. They thought it was a wonderful way to show class pride.
The banner was displayed in the stadium and gym, and came in especially useful for events such as "senior day" celebrations. Perhaps the banner will come in handy for class reunions in years to come! |
 |
| Use the buttons below to donate to the class banner of your choice, using your credit card and safe and secure PayPal. Any funds left over after any given class banner is purchased will be given to the treasury for that class. Who will get their banner first? |
