25th Anniversary Tee (Adult)
Last chance to get your commemorative 25th Anniversary t-shirts!
Years from now, perhaps at the 50th Anniversary, some of us will be watching our grandchildren (who will, of course, be wearing their parents' old 25th Anniversary t-shirts) frolicking through the lush green yard, wearing our own old 25th Anniversary t-shirts, and reminiscing about what the school was like before we implemented the Campus Master Plan, tapped in to a steady stream of EITC money, and spread integral education all across the grateful land. And others will be staring wistfully at those wearing 25th Anniversary t-shirts, wishing that they, 25 years earlier, had got their own t-shirts.
Again, I say, last chance to get your commemorative 25th Anniversary t-shirts!
These are 100% cotton, kelly green t-shirts, featuring the fabulously festive 25th Anniversary logo. Supplies are limited!
