Hello Senior Parents! The countdown has begun! This is our second to last newsletter for you!

The following three resources contain all the info you need for the next two weeks!

Time of Reflection is TODAY at 4:00pm. Doors open at 3:30pm for families. It lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Attire is summer dressy 🙂

Elementary School Memory Walk & Rally in the Park: May 21. Happy Valley @ 1:45pm; LES/Burton Valley/Springhill @ 2:00pm. Seniors return to their former elementary schools in caps and gowns for a fun and meaningful “memory walk.” They’ll fill out nametags, grab a snack, reconnect with teachers & principals, wave to current students, and revisit the halls where it all began. After the walk, seniors take a group photo at the school site, then head to the celebratory rally in the park for the Grads. Please RSVP to Rally in the Park

Graduation Garland: If you haven’t ordered one yet, it’s not too late. They are available to purchase on the webstore.

**SENIOR MEMORY FRAMES** are due this week to the Career and College Counseling Office. Please have your senior drop it off no later than Thursday, May 21. Please remember to include your student’s name on the front in your design and a name and contact phone number must be written on the back as well.  Pick up your frame immediately following the graduation ceremony on Friday 5/29 from the fence behind the bleachers.
