Could you help me understand the structure of this sentence: 'with everyone in our year’s name written on it'?
Here's the context: 'But this one was different. Our end-of-year stunt was a giant totem pole, wedged into the field, with everyone in our year’s name written on it and the quite poetic words “don’t lose sight” adorned at the top.'
I've understood the sentence meaning, but not its syntax.
Feel free to highlight my thread's errors.

All the people in the same "year" in school or whatever this is talking about. Like the graduating class of 2021.

It's an alternative word order for "the name of everyone in our year written on it".
