Class gift displays that leave something lasting

Senior classes want a gift people will still notice in ten years, not a bench that fades into the background. A class gift display gives a graduating class a visible legacy, and the class can be recognized on the screen it helped fund.

Why it matters

Class gifts are often forgotten a year later

Plaques, benches and murals are lovely, but few students know which class gave them. Classes often raise money without a project that excites everyone. A display that keeps telling the school’s story gives the gift ongoing purpose.

Ideas for Class Gift Displays

A class dedication page

Add a page that thanks the class, lists its officers and shares a class photo.

Profiles for the gift class

Give each graduate from the gift class a profile that stays on the display.

Reunion-year features

Plan to feature the class again at its five- and ten-year reunions.

Multi-class gifts

Combine funds from several classes for a larger project, and recognize each one.

Alumni reunion gifts

Invite reunion classes to fund an addition, such as a new section or a second display.

An unveiling at commencement

Reveal the mockup or the finished display at graduation or the senior awards night.

How it works with Hardware

Class Gift Displays, step by step.

Three steps

  1. Choose the gift with the class

    Share a free installation mockup with class officers and advisers so they can vote on the location and style.

  2. Confirm scope and quote

    Rocket provides a quote for the school’s setup, and the school confirms mounting, power and network for the location.

  3. Install and dedicate it

    Once mounted and connected, the display launches with the class dedication. Staff keep it current in Rocket’s editor for future classes.

Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Best practices

Tips to get it right.

Class Gift Displays tips

  1. Start the conversation junior year

    Classes raise money over time, so pick the project early.

  2. Involve the adviser and principal

    The school approves the location and maintenance plan, so bring them in before fundraising.

  3. Pick content that grows

    A hall of fame, senior wall or yearbook collection gains value as each new class is added.

  4. Photograph the dedication

    Capture the unveiling and add it to the class page for future reunions.
