7 Habits T-shirt

7 Habits t-shirt for $7!

·        The Student Lighthouse Team is selling red t-shirts (with black graphics/lettering) to be worn on Leadership Day (2/26/15). Won’t it look great if we all are showing our school spirit when our visitors arrive from all over the country? Of course, you can wear it any other day as well!

·        For each t-shirt sold, $1 will be donated to the Humane Society of Cobb County.  That is a win-win!  You’ll have a great shirt and be helping animals at the same time.  (If we sell 500 shirts, $500 will be donated to helping provide animals with food, shelter, supplies, and medicine!)
