8th GRADE YARD SIGNS

Don’t miss celebrating your MRMS 8th Grade student with a yard sign to recognize their upcoming promotion to High School! This yard sign was designed by fellow 8th Grader, Kumudnayani Rachakonda, and voted on by the 8th Grade students. Yard signs are made of a sturdy hard corrugated plastic and come with an H-stake for easy placement in your yard. 
 
Please note that this is a PTSO Fundraiser for 8th grade activities, and the PTSO will use the money collected to purchase signs, as well as provide decorations for the promotion ceremony, ice cream for students on Signing Day, gifts for the students, etc.

If you have ordered a yard sign they can be picked up Tuesday, March 31st from 9 AM - 9:30 AM and Thursday, April 2nd from 9:30 AM -10:30 AM.
​
If you would like to purchase a yard sign, please stop by during one of the above time slots. We accept cash or credit.
