Good Morning Seniors,
Below are your updates/reminders for the week.
Grad Bash: TICKETS ARE ON SALE!!!. You can pay via school cash (link below) or you can pay me in cash in room 1-290. 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. All students must ride the bus from school. The last day to purchase is February 27th.
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.

Cap and 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. Many of you have asked about a cutoff date, March 20th is the last date to order if you want to pick yours up at school when Jostens hands them out in April. You can order after that date, however, you may not get them until the night of graduation. Cap and Gown prices will go up after January 1st.

Cap and Gown Photo Retakes: In case you were not aware, we changed vendors and redesigned the cap and gown at the end of last year. It took some time for Cady to get a sample of the new gown, and in the summer, some students took photos with the old design. If you would like to get those photos retaken, Cady will be on campus on 1/16 to do that. The sign up sheet for that is linked below. Please put "CAP AND GOWN ONLY" in the notes next to the sign up. Email McmillanK@lake.k12.fl.us with any questions.

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 students fines, and will need to be paid before receiving their diploma.
Senior Parent Meeting: While this meeting is still a ways off, our calendars fill up quickly, and I wanted to let everyone know well in advance. 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.
