We are hoping each graduate of BA heading off to college (including community colleges, technical schools, training programs, or the military) will bring us a pennant from his or her college or program so that we may proudly display it in Bacon Academy. The collection will grow over the years as more alumni bring us pennants from their school. This collection will celebrate all alumni, so if you or someone you know is a member from any graduating class of Bacon Academy, please share this with them, and ask them to bring in their pennant for us! Also, if you'd like to stay connected to the great things going on at Bacon Academy, you can follow me on Twitter @BA_Peel.
You can mail us a pennant directly from your college, send it home and have a family member drop it off in the main office, or bring it in yourself and share with us how awesome college is! To help build our collection, follow these easy steps:
- Purchase a pennant from the college/technical school/training program/military that you are attending.
- Grab a Sharpie marker and sign it or write a short inspirational message on the front.
- Once you graduate, purchase a small pin from your school and come back to pin it on your pennant. Pinning it on signifies that you not only made it to college, but also graduated!
To avoid duplicate pennants (we don't need 25 UCONN pennants, for example), we have established this Bacon Academy Alumni Pennant Collection web page on the BA website that has a current and accurate list of all the schools and programs that are currently being represented by the collection.
