NNY360 reports that parents have raised $2,245 to run billboards commemorating local high school grads.This quote by newspaper photographer Christopher Lenney who is also the parent of a high school graduate says it all.

“I was like, ‘Man these kids have grown up under the influence of Lamar Outdoor Advertising their whole school career and beyond that,’ because you go to the school either from Norwood, or Norfolk, or Raymondville and you pass six or eight Lamar Outdoor Advertising signs,” Mr. Lenney said. “So I was like, ‘Well, let’s use the existing infrastructure and see if we can honor them.’”

Lamar is running copy commemorating the graduated of the Norwood-NBorfolk High school class of ’20.  The copy is running on billboards just to the north and south of the high school.

Insider’s take:  Win, win.  Lamar gets some revenue.  Local grads get commemorated.  Too bad there are no digital billboards near the school so that kids could be commemorated individually.
