August 2015

Dear Senior Parent:

My name is Cherie Busch and Iwillbe the faculty sponsor for the Class of 2016. Iwillbe available to assist you and your student throughout the year. The senior year in high school is one for memory making–a year that is very special for your student. The senior class officers are already working towards some of their biggest tasks this year – planning the Homecoming Dance, assisting with Senior Week in May, and last but not least Senior Prom.

A calendar specifically designed for seniors is attached. There are many important dates to remember and plans to make with your senior. Project Graduation invites all Senior Parents to meetings held to plan the all-night party after graduation. Please email Leslie Moore, Project Graduation President, at , with any questions regarding meeting dates.

There are three important dates which seem to take the most planning during the senior year; Homecoming, Prom and Graduation. Prom is Friday, May 13th, from 8pm to 12am. Graduation is Saturday, May 28th- 2pm at M.O. Campbell Center in Aldine.

Please don’t be the last to know about opportunities, dates, and deadlines as our students make decisions about graduation, post-secondary education, and career choices.

I will be your first source for information this year. I can be contacted at . This year we also have a special email address for just seniors, .
