DC Alumni T-Shirts

As the DC Alumni Council prepared for the October "All-Alumni Reunion" we received several suggestions for t-shirt designs from our grads. However, these are the shirts that won the friendly competition.  With Christmas right around the corner, right now is the best time to place an order for your favorite Dayton Christian alumni!

CRUSADER FOOTBALL
It's true that we never had a varsity football team while we proudly cheered our beloved "Crusaders" - but that's precisely why we can claim that we've been "Undefeated Since 1963". These medium weight  90/10 preshrunk cotton polyester blend shirts come in sizes S-M-L-XL and XXL. Show your purple pride!

Our Anniversary Alumni shirt...  "Celebrating 50 Years of God's Faithfulness".  Featuring vintage school-jacket lettering with a contemporary "golden anniversary" twist, this is a great way to celebrate your DC heritage!  The medium weight preshrunk 100% cotton tees and cotton/polyester blend hoodies are available in S-M-L-XL and XXL.

HOMEWOOD BRICKS

The Dayton Christian Alumni Council has acquired 100 bricks from the high school side of our dear old 325 Homewood Avenue campus.  We are making them available as a fund-raiser for our "Alumni Scholarship" fund.  This initiative was started in order to partner with local graduates to help make a DC education possible for their children or grandchildren.  Applications will be available at the DC Alumni website in early spring.

These original "Wyandot" bricks have been collected, cleaned and labeled with a commemorative brass plate.  We invite you to own a small piece of our history and contribute to a very worthy cause!  Quantities are limited, so don't delay.

The suggested donations are :
$25  for pick-up of the brick at the Miamisburg campus.
$35  to have it delivered in the continental USA via "Parcel-Post" shipping.

Please send a check or money order made out to Dayton Christian Schools to :  9391 Washington Church Road / Miamisburg  OH  45342 / Attention : W. Dean Sellers.  Thank you!
