Comments
Anyone with a graduating high school senior around Northern Virginia, you can get a personalized, high school specific yard sign honoring your student for @$20 from Alphagraphics in Alexandria. The picture below is Woodson, but all the Fairfax County, Alexandria, Arlington and many private school logos and colors are choices.
You can either pick it up at their store in Old Town, or they will deliver it to you for a $5.00 charge. They are not set up to deliver through the mail, so you need to either choose, pick up at store or local delivery (from Alphagraphics). Here is the link:
