Balfour Information from Paul Trono, Balfour Representative:
If there are any members of the Class of 2022 or their families interested in ordering Custom Graduation Announcements, Senior Apparel, or Class Rings, now is the time to order. Your school announcement will have the custom school crest done with the school colors. Simply go to www.balfour.com. and click on graduation. The screen will say high school announcements. When Find MY School pops up just type in the full name of the school. Next, the ordering page will appear. There is a custom announcement for each school and it should appear there on the page. Name cards are not needed as their name will appear in the announcement. Place your order and it will ship directly to your home. Questions, please reach out to balfourvt@gmail.com.
