Patriot Place: Raising School Spirit (and Media Center Funds)
September 8, 2015
No, the shirts hanging up in the library aren’t just for decoration. It’s actually the Bob Jones school spirit shop called Patriot Place. The shop is near the circulation desk in the media center where all the shirt designs are on display. The shirts will be moved to the glass room in the front of the media center soon.
They currently have Comfort Color tees and sweatshirts. Long sleeve tees are coming soon. Tee shirts cost $10-$20, and sweatshirts cost $30. There are many different colors to choose from so you can show your school pride in your own style.
You can pay with cash or check at the Circulation desk. Just ask for the shirt and color that you want.
When asked why Patriot Place was created, Mrs. Huskey said it wasn’t originally her shop. Mrs. Van Dam and her business classes made it. “The store is a new way to generate funds for new resources for the library. It’s my main money maker.” Bob Jones also has another online store, but the money from that website does not go towards the library.
If you want to show off how much school spirit you have while supporting the media center, then go by the library and pick up a shirt to wear at the next football game.
