Wreaths, wreaths, and more wreaths

Whenever visitors walk into John I. Burton High School, they will be welcomed with an exquisite display of dozens of colorful wreaths, complete with ribbons. The cheerleaders of John I. Burton are creating hand-made wreaths as a fundraiser to sponsor their trip to the Citrus Bowl, which will be held in Orlando Florida, at its namesake stadium. The astounding wreaths consist of many colorful materials and are made upon request.

You can ask a cheerleader to make a wreath  to represent your favorite team or school.  Both high school and college colors are available. You can also request other themes, such as breast cancer or autism awareness. The wreaths are extremely customizable, light weight, and a great decorative item. You can receive a wreath in exchange for a donation of 50 dollars or higher, made to the John I. Burton cheerleaders. Wreaths go on sale at "Meet the Raiders Night" on Thursday, September 11.

The cheerleaders spend a considerable amount of time working on the wreaths. It takes three cheerleaders around an hour to make a single one. Our cheerleaders have been working on these wreaths during activity period, during lunch, and even at home. Come out and buy a one of a kind decorative piece of art and help support our Raiders!
