Quarrier Athletic Surplus Sale

November 29, 2014 by Matt Larson, Big Sioux Media

Those interested in owning a piece of Quarrier history and showing Quarrier Spirit are in luck. This winter the Dell Rapids School District will be selling surplus jerseys and athletic equipment. This sale will be done in two parts.

Part one of the surplus sale will be an auction-style sale and will start on Monday, December 1st. Bids can be made with LuAnn at the district office for football jersey numbers of the uniforms worn by varsity last year and prior years. This auction-style sale for both the black and white varsity football uniforms is intended to give everyone who may want those jerseys and numbers a fair chance to get them. The bids will come to an end at the close of school on Friday, December 19th.

The second part of the surplus sale will include any of the football jerseys that were not sold along with older track sweats, cheer outfits, basketball jerseys, football pants, volleyball tops, golf gear, along with some other possible treasures. This part of the sale will be a rummage-type sale and will take place at three home basketball games. The three dates are January 3rd, January 6th, and January 9th.

For any questions, contact Jeff Dvorak or LuAnn Heidebrink at 428-5473 ext. 1.

Quarrier Logo Vote

The ballot is ready! The culmination of a nearly two-year process to update the Quarrier mascot is upon us. Through the efforts of students and professionals alike, there are five options for Quarrier fans to choose from. Now, we need help from Quarrier Nation. Here’s a little snippet about each:

#1 – The strength of this mascot is very obvious. He is moving forward with confidence and power. His clean lines and rounded shape along with a modern font above the rocks makes him appealing to the eye.

#2 – The sharpness of the pick-axe provides a nice contrast with the ring holding our school name. This chiseled Quarrier seems as strong as stone and ready to go to work.

#3 – He has certainly stood the test of over 50 years. Our traditional Quarrier would be updated in a more technologically friendly format so his image could be duplicated with consistency for another 50 + years.

#4 – The pride and power is clear. He is standing with the expression and posture of determination and pride. His detailed look is a bit more traditional, and he sits atop the Quarrier Rock – a font that resembles the look of stone.

#5 – This clean, sleek, yet strong look is a mix of strength and speed. He provides a very modern style that is simple and easily transferable to clothes and uniforms while the swinging of the axe adds speed and motion.

Click below for the online survey. The survey will be available until Thursday, May 22nd. For those that do not have internet access, ballots can be dropped off at the school until Friday, May 16th.
