Ridgewood High School Alumni Association Honors 2020 Seniors
436 banners have been hung throughout the Village of Ridgewood by the high school alumni association in honor of the 2020 senior class.
RIDGEWOOD, NJ — The Ridgewood High School Alumni Association hung 436 maroon and white banners in honor of the 2020 seniors throughout the village of Ridgewood earlier this week.
In a letter to seniors, the association said though they usually save the senior greeting for graduation day, they felt this year's class of seniors "deserved an early, special welcome."
"Our sole mission was not only to recognize and to celebrate you, but to stress our eagerness to welcome you as the newest alumni into our ranks. The entire class of 2020 is modern day proof that the 'Tradition of Excellence' is thriving, enduring and resilient," reads the letter.
