Good Afternoon Seniors,
Below are your reminders/updates for the week.
Cap and Gown: We are now at 339 out of 562 who have ordered their cap and gown. Remember, cap and gown package INCLUDES the cap, gown, tassel, medallion, and LMHS stole. The website makes it a little misleading - you DO NOT have to purchase a separate tassel unless you want one. Please have yours ordered by March 20th. Orders will be shipped to the Jostens office, and then brought to LMHS and handed out in Mid-April
https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/productDetail/2378409/LAKE-MINNEOLA-HIGH-SCHOOL/Cap-and-Gown/3190249962/CATALOG_REPOSITORY/Cap-and-Gown-Unit/3190250002
Grad Bash: Seniors, you have just about a month left to purchase tickets for this one-of-a-kind event. Tickets can be purchased via SchoolCash (link below) or you can pay me in cash in room 1-290. Grad Bash will be on Saturday, April 18th. The price is $155, and Universal DOES NOT allow annual passes for this event. The last day to purchase is February 27th. Beginning March 2nd, students can pick up a permission form outside my door, or print a copy and return it. Permission forms will need to be signed and returned in order to attend.
https://lakecounty.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/6173/552/False/True
Prom: Tickets are on sale for $100. The link to all things related to Prom is below. Email NealM@lake.k12.fl.us with any questions.

Senior Shirts: Your class officers have designed a special shirt for all seniors. This shirt will have the names of all of the graduates on the back. Shirts are on sale on SchoolCash until 1/31. After 1/31, I will place the order and then it will take about two weeks to get them. I will notify students when they arrive.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-4peA-TrvAkQ4Ews6v2UA86TLmD2r8qPfgnYbSWB7SY/edit?tab=t.0
Senior Parent Meeting: There will be a senior parent meeting on Wednesday, March 4th at 6pm in the LMHS auditorium. More information will be shared as we get closer. Parents will be able to pay any outstanding dues or fines, and a representative from Jostens will also be on hand taking cap and gown orders.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RXYxf0Baj-epFdbxTB9V8vl6E2P4EOy3t_7OSP2ue0U/edit?tab=t.0
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, with your receipt, and get your shirt. Any dues that are not paid will be added to a student's fines, and will need to be paid before receiving their diploma.
