SENIORS
The tradition continues. It’s time for the Senior Shirt Design Contest—the shirt that every senior gets to sign. Please submit your designs for the Class of 2025 Senior Shirt to Mrs. Ledden in Room CS347 by Thursday, September 19. You do not have to be a senior to submit designs for the shirt—open to all grade levels. We need a front shirt design and a back shirt design. Each of these designs is a separate “contest”. Prizes for each contest are as follows: Front – $25; Back – $25. (That’s $50 if you win both!) Be sure to incorporate ORHS, Seniors, and Class of 2025 into your drawings. Place your name and first period teacher’s name on the back of each design entry. Entries must be original work and if selected, will become the property of Oak Ridge High School. (The selection committee reserves the right to combine two or more designs in which case each person will receive prize money.) – T. Ledden
