Eighth Grade Luncheon Update

Dear Parents:

The 8th Grade luncheon is still being planned by our parents committee. Because we changed the venue for our class trip, we do have some money left over.  We thought that it would be a nice idea to put this money towards the luncheon--therefore, the luncheon would be very inexpensive (or maybe even free) for the students.

We will keep you updated about the luncheon as soon as we know.

Thanks!

Dear Eighth Grade Parents:

ALL MONEY FOR GRADUATION GOWNS IS DUE BY THIS COMING TUESDAY, MAY 26TH, 2015!

Gowns will be ordered for those who have paid on Wednesday, May 27th. Please therefore submit your payments to Mrs. Luebbert ASAP as most people have paid but some still have not.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Please send all money to school with your child to give to their homeroom teacher or Mrs. Luebbert.  Please DO NOT drop money off in the office or ask any other school staff to take 8th grade fees for you. Thank you.

2.  Students will be measured for gowns on MONDAY, May 18th. Students may bring in their gown money on Monday ($20.00) if they have not yet paid it.

3. ALL transpasses are good for Monday 5/18. New passes will be given out on Monday.

4. Luncheon is being planned. You may hold money if you have not sent it in, because we may get refunds from our trip. More information will be forthcoming soon.
