Show rwnuuiiiiiiTt Student Council Seeking Help to Re-Light The "G" plish our goal of developing a new lighting system for the "G" which could last many years. We need to purchase a new generator, gen-erator, along with a new set of lights. While donations of all sizes are welcome, sponsorship status will be granted to those making mak-ing donations of $100 or more. Sponsors will receive advertising advertis-ing on flyers that will be distributed distrib-uted door-to-door around the city, and advertising on posters inside PGHS. We sincerely hope that you will see the value of investing in this symbol of our community in order to continue con-tinue our tradition of lighting the "G" for many more years to come.

Feel free to contact us with any questions, comments, or suggestions at 801-400-4794.
