Senior year comes with a lot of events.

From prom to the senior skit, seniors are constantly busy.

Prom

Tickets will not be sold at the door.

They are $40 per person.

Senior skit

There will be a senior skit meeting this Friday, April 22.

There will be several more meetings to make sure the skit gets done on time.

Some may even be on the weekends.

It is important that people that want to participate are there.

Filming will begin the week after prom.

Not everyone is going to get the role they want, but everyone that wants to be included will be.

If you have any questions please contact one of the senior class officers.
