Description:

I am the owner of MN Moments, a small business in central MN that specializes in woodcraft projects. I am writing to request permission to use the Eden Valley Watkins High School logo on some of my products.

I believe that incorporating the Eden Valley Watkins High School logo into my woodcraft projects would be a great way for students and their families to show their pride.

I would love the opportunity to include Eden Valley Watkins as a customization option for a variety of upcoming woodcraft projects; the most popular item that I have designed is a sports bag-tag/ornament, currently including the following sports:

  • Baseball

  • Softball

  • Basketball

  • Football

  • Track

  • Cross Country

  • Soccer
