EFAFA SPEARHEADS DESIGN, PURCHASE, AND INSTALLATION OF WARRIOR BANNERS--2005
The Elizabeth Forward Alumni and Friends Association, in an attempt to promote school spirit in the community, decided to purchase and install “Warrior’ banners on dozens of utility poles approaching the High School and the District’s Administrative Offices at the Middle School. A picture of the banner appears at the left. Each one is two feet by six feet and is made of red weatherproof canvas with a black and white Warrior head and lettering. The A. G. Trimble Company of Pittsburgh is facilitated the final design and manufactured the banners. They were installed prior to the 2005-2006 school year. The cost of each banner, including installation, is $130. To help defray the cost of this project, letters were sent to all of the EFSD booster organizations, student clubs, PTO and PTA organizations, and many local businesses in the school district asking for their support in this project. The response has been enthusiastic and reflects the pride students, teachers, parents, businesses, and residents have in EFSD! The organizations and individuals purchasing banners during the initial phase of this project are recognized below. With the support of art teacher, Mrs. B. Holt, a contest was held among the high school students to design the banner, with a $50 prize going to the two winners of the contest, Angela Anthony and Holly Thompson. Because of the overwhelming response to this project, the Alumni Association, decided that a second phase will take place next year to try to place additional banners near each of the elementary buildings. If you are interested in finding out more about the project or purchasing a banner, contact Mrs. Mika Long, 412-751-2440, or Mrs. Donna Carney, 412-751-0397.
