S&E Contest T-Shirt & Hoodies

River Trails MS will be selling t-shirts and hoodies to help raise money for their upcoming trip to Orlando, Florida.

We are working with Ocean’s Apparel and have come up with a fantastic shirt design (see below) that I think students and parents will get excited about. You can head to the link below to pre-order a t-shirt/hoodie and avoid what we think will be long lines on February 22nd at RTMS. If you order on the day of the contest, they will create the shirt while you wait (but you might wait for a while). If you pre-order, it will be ready for pick up when you arrive.  We highly recommend this option!

A few words of advice when pre-ordering. If you would like a list of the schools that participated to be printed on the back (with a star next to your school), under team roster, type the name of your school. Even though they will not be adding your name here, they need something in the next box or you will get an error message. You can put a name or just enter N/A.
