Become a Dreadnaught Plank Owner
The remodeling of the old Dexter High School (presently called Creekside School) and the building of the new field house with locker rooms led to the scrapping of the old locker room benches. These are the benches where thousands of Dexter Wrestlers, Baseball and Football players sat as they participated in athletics over the past 50 years. The Dexter Dreadnaughts are honoring their athletes, coaches, school, town and supporters using the old navy tradition of providing planks of decommissioned ships to the sailors. Each oak plank measures about 10 inches and has the Dexter Dreadnaught logo burnt into the wood. Each Plank is unique and can be personalized with an athlete’s name, sport and graduation class. It can be hung on a wall and is a perfect gift for that former or present Dexter athlete. There are only 100 planks available and 10 already have been sold to current and past athletes. All proceeds go to the Dexter Touchdown Club in its effort to buy new and safer football equipment for the soon to be commissioned field house. Planks are available for $45 at the Touchdown Club table during Dexter High School Football Games. For more information or to place an order, you may email Pam Kleinschmidt at preny1@chartermi.net. |
