Raven!

An amazing perk came our way as a result of Connor's hard work organizing the NJHS/Safeway 10% Back to School grocery rebate program! The regional Safeway marketing coordinator was so impressed with SRMS students' hard work and enthusiasm for the program that he offered us a unique school-wide incentive program to increase receipt donations. We were able to offer a random receipt drawing where Connor and 10 lucky winners from our school (Yeah Graeme!) received an awesome NFL Ravens prize package including (we still can't believe it).... a tour of the Ravens' locker room with your own name on a locker stocked with a t-shirt, football, yearbook and lots of Heinz products and pre-game snacks (an official sponsor), a trip through the game-day tunnel and on to the field to participate in a fun pass, punt, throw and kick competition, topped off with a buffet dinner (more Heinz products) on the club level of the stadium. It was incredible! Now Connor can say he kicked an extra point on the Ravens field and Graeme can say he nailed a 30 yard pass down the sideline. It was definitely a night to remember!

OK... the PURPLE zone!

In the end zone: Graeme and SRMS 7th grade winners
...and it was ALL good!
