Good Morning Seniors,
We hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween, and enjoyed the rest of your weekend. Below are your updates/reminders for the week.
1). Prom: Tickets are on sale for $100. The link to all things related to Prom is below. Email Mrs. Neal with any questions.
https://www.canva.com/design/DAG2pdiLHlY/sTngPFpICdToyOcHmWpi8w/view?utm_content=DAG2pdiLHlY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h736b8384c9
2). Grad Bash: Tickets will go on sale soon. Grad Bash will be on Saturday, April 18th. We will leave school at 3:00pm and the event ends at 2:00am. The price is $155, and Universal DOES NOT allow annual passes for this event. Tickets will be sold on school cash. You will be able to pay in full, or in two payments (one $75 and then $80). The last day to purchase is March 6th.
3). Senior Photo: On Wednesday, November 19th, all graduates will participate in a class photo on the football field from 9-10am. Seniors are encouraged to wear purple, or your class shirts (pay your dues and see me for the shirt).
4). Cap and Gown: Please continue to purchase Cap and Gowns. Jostens will be on campus again before the end of the semester to sell in person, but you can always go to the website linked below and buy your gown. The only requirement to walk is the "Cap and Gown Unit" for $65.71 + shipping and handling. This package includes the cap, gown, medallion, stole, and tassel.

5). Class Dues: Dues are $20 and can be paid on School Cash. We still have class shirts available, so once you pay dues, stop by 1-290 and get your shirt.
