The RJR Booster Club would like to thank all of the

parents and athletes for their help with the concessions

during the home varsity football games this fall.

Special thanks goes to Portia Propst for overseeing the concession operations and the countless hours that she worked making sure everything went smoothly. Also a big thank you goes to:Kathy and Tim Pickett for all of the hours that they helped on game nights with concessions;Kendra Wilcox for coordinating the volunteers;Karen Rice for manning the Demon Shop/coordinating the Demon Shop volunteers; and Ted Irvin for taking care of the finances. With your support, the Booster Club was able to raise money for the athletic programs at RJR!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 22 at 10:00 a.m. for the Bryson Gym Clean-Up Day as we get ready for the basketball/wrestling season! We are asking our student-athletes to come and help clean up the weight room and training areas used during the fall season. We need as many people as possible to clean up the lobby, trophy cases and the outside area of the gym. We want to show our DEMON pride for our beautiful Bryson Gym!

The next Booster Club meeting will be held on Monday, November 17th at 6:00 p.m. in the media center.

Go Demons!

RUN (and eat doughnuts) FOR A GREAT CAUSE AND

HELP RJR WIN FREE TRAINING SUPPLIES FOR OUR ATHLETES!

No one in our current student body attended RJR at the time, but many remember or know about Matthew Gfeller who died after suffering a traumatic brain injury in his first RJR football game six years ago. The following year, three of Matt’s friends honored Matt’s memory and his spirit with the first annual Matt Gfeller Memorial Doughnut Run.

The sixth annual run will be November 15

at 9:00 a.m. on our own R.J. Reynolds campus!

Proceeds from the event fund traumatic brain injury research at the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma at WakeForestBaptistMedicalCenter and at the MatthewGfellerSport-RelatedTBIResearchCenter at UNC-Chapel Hill. Proceeds from previous events have fully endowed the Matt Gfeller Scholarship which is awarded to an RJR senior each year.

Students should select that they are a “student at RJR” when registering. Schools that register 20 or more students will receive athletic training supplies from the Gfeller Foundation. Don’t let another school beat us….RJR is Matt’s school and we should have the highest student attendance in the race! As an additional incentive, all RJR students who register (***remember to select that you are an RJR student!***) will be entered to win a Village Tavern gift card!

Use this link to register today and be sure to select that you are a “student at RJR”:

If you aren’t available to run/walk on November 15th, you can still participate. Just register to “Sleep ‘n Support” and make a $30 donation to fund TBI.

It’s Not too Late to Place Your Order

Have you seen the RJR faculty shirts this year? Many students have and have asked for one themselves. Of course, students can’t have a faculty shirt, but you CAN have a “Class of…” one.

How? Fill out this order form and return to Karen Morris’ box or to the Arts Magnet office. Shirts are $20 and can be paid for by checks to R.J. Reynolds or in cash. The back will read “CLASS OF” and your graduation year. The faculty shirts say 23 because RJR has been in existence since 1923.
