Hello Mt. Mourne Club Participants! The Mt. Mourne Phoenix Club shirts are here! They are 100% pre-shrunk cotton, burgundy short sleeved shirts with the Phoenix logo and club names listed in cream.
The shirts are only $10 and can be worn to show your Phoenix Club Spirit! Order a shirt last year and have no idea where it is? Ordered one last year and it no longer fits? Or you just don't like to do laundry and want a second shirt? NOW is your chance.
All clubs use the same shirt, so if your student is in more than one club you do not need to purchase multiple shirts. All orders must be placed by 11/1/19.
Cheddar Up link for ordering.
