Grand Junction High School athletes and fine arts students that have lettered in an activity are invited to attend the new Letterman’s Banquet on Nov. 7 at Colorado Mesa University.

GJHS is holding the first annual Letterman’s Banquet for students who have earned a letter in athletics or fine arts.

The event will be held 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, in the CMU Ballroom.

“A lot of kids in the whole school and a lot of sports and people that have lettered; definitely a pretty cool tradition,” said GJHS junior cross country and track runner Bryce Flanagan.

Participants are allowed to bring two guests and are encouraged to dress semi-formally. Students are highly encouraged to display their letter in some way, such as a letterman jacket.

“We’re looking at about 300 for this year, as far as every student being able to invite two guests,” said GJHS athletics director Steven Woytek.

There will be a silent auction held to raise money for covering the cost to celebrate lettering students with their guests.

Coaches will also be invited to attend.
