THE CLASS OF 2015 MAKES A BIG SPLASH TO MOVE UP TO 3rd PLACE
This week the Class of 2015 became the youngest class to make it into the Top 5 with a total of 33 donations. With just three weeks left it appears that places 2 through 5 are up for grabs, and it might just be that a few classes are getting ready to make a push.
As of the end of the 9th week (Dec. 6th) a total of $22,620 has been received from 633 donors. The leader board looks like this:
1964 - 195
1975 - 36
2015 - 33
1973 - 24
1966 - 23
1986 - 23
1976 - 18
1988 - 16
1965 - 14
1989 - 14
1963 - 13
1967 - 13
1958 - 12
1962 - 12
The TOP FIVE CLASSES will have $2,000 scholarships given in their names to five members of the Class of 2026 at Junior Day on Friday, May 29, 2026. Attached is a complete list of donors by YOG. We have established a goal of $50,000 for this year's campaign so that we can continue to support projects and Alumni scholarships at Fairhaven High School. This past year we spent $35,400 restoring all 102 wooden desks in Room 7, and thanks to your generosity, we were able to award $34,000 in scholarships to a large number of college bound students from the Class of 2025.
Our beautiful Colorado Blue Spruce Tree on the west lawn of the high school will be lit in early November with one bulb for every $10 donation being represented by a light on the tree. PLEASE NOTE THAT DONATIONS HAVE TO BE A MINIMUM OF $10 PER PERSON TO COUNT TOWARDS THE TOTAL FOR EACH CLASS FOR THE "BATTLE OF THE CLASSES" COMPETITION.
Remember that the totals include donations made "in memory of" deceased classmates. We will update the tabulations on our website and our Facebook page on Sundays or Mondays as the battle goes on until December 31st. Open the attachment at the bottom of this page to see the list of the current 2025 donors by YOG, and see how your class is doing.
