Seniors — Mrs. Hoekstra needs the following completed:

These displays can be similar to those made for graduation parties and may include:
– Your plans after graduation (college, military, trade school, workforce, gap year, etc.)

– Activities, awards, interests, and accomplishments
Families, staff, and underclassmen will be invited to walk through and view the displays before Senior Awards Night to celebrate your achievements.
Display boards are due by Monday, 4/27.
• Lastly, please email me 5 photos for a display wall and/or slideshow I am creating.

Photos are due by 4/24.
