Junior: Pinning & Ring Ceremony
The annual Ring & Pinning Ceremony for our Juniors will be held on March 25, 2022, at 10:00 am. Students will receive their rings that were purchased from Herff Jones. If you have purchased a ring from another company, please bring your ring to Ms. Crystal Franklin on the morning of the ceremony.
We are asking that Junior students have a representative to pin them on the day of the ceremony. Every Junior will be recognized. When your child’s name is called, the parent (guardian/representative) will pin the school’s pin onto the lapel of the student. This moment begins the Junior’s transition into their Senior year. Photos will be taken by Miles Photography.

Our goal is $8,880.
*****************************
Dear Parents,
We are excited to streamline our fundraiser by going online with 99Pledges. You will now be able to reach out to friends and family by email, Facebook, and Twitter, instead of going door-to-door, tracking commitments, and handling checks.
To add your child as a participant, please follow these 3 easy steps:
a. Go to this link - www.99pledges.com/fund/SULS2022/addme
b. Enter your child’s name and grade, enter your email(s).
c. Click “Add” > this will take you to your newly created pledge page!
All you have to do is make a donation for whatever amount you can, and share your child’s pledge page link with friends and family. We are shooting for 100% participation so no amount is too small.
Here is some sample sharing text: " NAME is participating in a fundraiser, and would love your support. If you'd like to donate, you can do so online at the following link: YOUR PLEDGE PAGE LINK Thanks for your support!"
