GRAD 2025
Hey Grads, for many years we have had a tradition of having baby pictures in the yearbook of our grads. We are hoping that in the next month all grads can look through their old photos and dig up some great baby pictures that could be included in our yearbook. This form also includes spots to put other middle school and friend pictures that could potentially be put in the grad slideshow at the end of the year. This is your responsibility and photos submitted after the deadline may not be considered for the yearbook. The form closes NOVEMBER 30TH so do it ASAP! https://forms.gle/c6UJckY5onQJPvrB6
The deadline for ordering your grad clothing is coming up this Tuesday November 12th! The link to the store is here and items will arrive before Christmas break - get your order in so you don’t miss out!
