Residents defend senior banners; concerns raised about banner-request process
Summary
Community members and Senior Outreach leaders told Pitman council that the "Seniors Celebrating Seniors" banners were grassroots and parent-sponsored, while other residents questioned fairness and clarity of the banner-request process during the Nov. 10 work session.
Eileen Salmon, chairwoman of Senior Outreach, said the "Seniors Celebrating Seniors" concept grew from interest among parents and committee members rather than a formal committee vote, and organizers had received community interest for the banners. Gwen Sharp of the Pitman High School Alumni Association said participation levels meant double-sided banners were not feasible and that parents and businesses sponsored the effort.
Other residents expressed concern about process and fairness. Nancy Jo Loudner said there was confusion about whether banner requests needed committee approval and called the process unfair to some applicants. Council members discussed alternative promotion options for graduating seniors, including yard signs or school-based displays, and encouraged coordination with the school board for broader inclusion.
