Tolo Info
Every year, there are kids attending Tolo for the first time….and of course we have lots of new families….so here's some info to help your student with planning their evening. Tolo will be on Saturday, December 13th, 9:00 p.m - 12:00 a.m.:
Tolo info from the Newport Dictionary: A formal dance held at school in early December. Girls generally ask the boys. Often the girls pay for the dance tickets, dinner, and any day activities planned by the couple. The boys pay for photos, transportation, and dessert. If the costs of the school-related aspects of Tolo (tickets, photos) are a financial hardship for your family, please see a school counselor or administrator about financial aid. Dinner, dessert, and day activities are not part of the school event.
Guest passes (for dates who aren't Newport students) must be fully filled out and turned in by December 10th by 3:00 p.m. No late passes will be accepted. Forms are available on the Newport website, under Activities or can be picked up in the main office. Guests must have a ticket and an ID card to enter the dance.
Tickets are on sale: Tuesday 9th, Wednesday 10th, Thursday 11th next week. Come buy your tickets during lunch in the commons. $13 per ticket. Please encourage your daughters to buy early!
Tolo Corsages and Boutonnieres: Show your support for the Invisible Children and purchase a commemorative ribbon corsage or boutonnière for Tolo. Orders will be taken during lunch on Thursday and Friday this week and Monday through Thursday next week. Pick up will be on Friday, December 12th. Save a flower and spend $10 for a good cause. Proceeds will benefit Invisible Children and Class of 2010 grad party.
