Penn Wood High School Students show unity with T-shirts


In an effort to show solidarity and unity in the face of adversity, the graduating senior class of 2013 at Penn Wood High School (Yeadon, PA) chose T-shirts to express what they had endured.  An arson fire destroyed one of the two main building on campus, forcing students to relocate to different buildings throughout the year.  That's not including bomb threats and split-shift classes.

While wearing the T-shirts, which were provided by the school district and paid for through donations, a class photo was taken for the yearbook, as shown below.  The T-shirts, the photo, they allowed the graduating class to show their strength to overcome these difficulties and carry on.

Often, we see springing up from high school students are T-shirts in association with causes related to health and well-being of a student, or some conflict with the school board.  In this case, this T-shirt is more than the traditional senior graduating class T-shirt that is ubiquitous among all graduating senior classes.  This is a T-shirt that shows a unity with peers to overcome the difficulties in life.

Well done graduating class of 2013.
