Beware! Not Raising Funds for ORHS!
In the past several weeks parents and business owners in our
community have been solicited by FMG Print Solutions, a
group based in Fort Worth. This company purports that it is
selling ads on behalf of the Oak Ridge High School Baseball
team. FMG Print Solutions is not selling ads on behalf of our
baseball team or any other school organization. None of the
money from ads purchased from this company comes to Oak
Ridge High School or benefits our school in any way.
To know if a company is raising funds on behalf of our
school or any ORHS student group, you can call the school at
832-592-5462 to verify the representations made by the
company or check our website. Typically we make our
patrons aware of ongoing fundraisers through various types
of communications with parents such as our campus
newsletter, website or communications from one of our staff
members or student clubs.
