Reminders:

Attention Raiders! Don’t forget to hand in your “Speak Up” surveys to the main office for next year’s yearbook.  This is your chance to have your voice heard in the yearbook.  We are also offering you a chance to customize your book next year by having your name embossed in foil on the cover of your book.  You can add a second line of text with your grad year or a school team or club, etc.  The World Yearbook insert is another way to customize your book and remember all the world events that happened this year for years to come.  These options are inexpensive and will give you a keepsake that is unique to you!  Get your order forms and payment in to the main office as soon as possible.

Attention Grads! I bet you can’t wait to see your grad yearbook next year filled with all your memories of the big day! Wouldn’t it be great if all your friends could sign that book when you get it? Sadly most grad yearbooks will not have any autographs or memories written in them as you will be off to University, Tech School, Working, etc.  But Wait!!! This year could be different! The yearbook is offering you a special Autograph insert that you can sign before the year is done and in the fall when you receive your yearbook, you can simply insert this Autograph section into your yearbook! Now your grad yearbook will be complete with all your friends’ signatures and memories included! How do you get this Autograph insert? Simply fill in the order form and hand it in to the main office with your payment.  We’ll look after the rest! As easy as that!

Grade 12 students: It is not too early to be thinking about scholarships. Check out the scholarship folders in Student Services. Some deadlines are rapidly approaching.
