LINK CREW SPONSORSHIP
Triad Link Crew is an organization that assists with a Freshman student’s transition to High School. We have over 110 Junior and Senior students that have already volunteered to give up two days of their summer to be trained and then ultimately lead our Triad High School Freshman Kickoff Day. This special day creates positive excitement within our Freshmen Class and sets the tone for a successful four years of high school. One of our main expenses for this day is providing our Link Leaders with a Dynamic T-shirt that allows our 9th graders to identify the Link Leaders on Freshmen Kickoff Day and the first day of school. We are reaching out to see if you would be interested in supporting our program with a $100 donation that would include Triad putting your business name on the back of each of the Link Leader’s T-shirts as well as putting your name on every notification we send home to our 9th grade parents concerning Freshmen Kickoff Day.
We feel Triad High School is a special place and a large part of that is the tremendous support we get from our community. Whether you are interested in participating or not we truly want to say thank you for everything you do for our school and community. I can’t imagine living or working anywhere else. Thank you so much!
