In most cases, school alumni tend to be helpful or supportive of their alma mater. This support can be shown through donating cash or kind to a school-wide project, attending a party, organization meeting or meal-for-a-cause, or by merely purchasing items that have school logo such as shirts, ring or even a school flag. A popular form of expression of support is thru a school flag, usually in feather flag form. It is difficult to take away an alumni’s dedication from its school no matter how old they are because they spent many years in the institution. It is not just a place for learning theories but for some it is a place of learning life.
Flags that are custom-made for schools are usually bought in school stores. Speaking of stores like those, those are one of the many add-on and leisure or recreational structures in a school that are at times a product of alumni’s donation. Presenting donations or contributions can be a way of showing gratitude to a school or a way to give back. Because there are many alumni who do this, some schools created a department just for alumni assistance and projects. This department is in charge of coordinating activities relating to alumni relations. It I thru this department where some new programs both academic and extra-curricular activities are initiated because it provides the necessary funds.
Because alumni who are very much still involved in school are at times can be seen in an alumni department, it is common to see school flags displayed. This gives a strong school spirit.
