Senior News! 5 Weeks to go!

Are you starting to feel a little nostalgic? As I said at the beginning of the year, this will be a year of "lasts" and it is so true. These next 5 weeks will be full of activities as our seniors finish off the year. I will be providing additional information and reminders about graduation and logistics as we get closer to June 13th. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
