Oh Seniors...

Seniors, we need to chat...

Tomorrow is the deadline for ordering your cap and gown at the regular rates.  After tomorrow there will be additional fees required to get your cap and gown.  I looked at the list of students who have their cap and gown ordered and it was less than half of my students!  :-(  Please, save yourself the time, money and effort by ordering your cap and gown NOW! 

Don't forget, we are working with a new partner for the Caps and Gowns.  Everything is now going through National Recognition Products.  This has changed the look for the caps and gowns, so even if you have an older sibling who had a gown, you will need to get a new one this year so that you have a consistent look with the rest of the class.  To order your gap, gown and tassel, please call the National Recognition Products office at 614-235-0277.  You can also contact them by e-mail at customerservice@nrpohio.com.  If you want to order announcements or other senior related products in addition to the cap and gown you can do that on their website at www.nrponline.com.  When you place your cap and gown order they will need your name, contact information, height, weight, gender, and that you are a student at Worthington Kilbourne High School.

Senior Pictures are due for the Yearbook by the end of February!  Many seniors have not yet submitted their senior pictures to the yearbook and it is essential that you complete that process.  Remember, it often takes photographers several weeks to get the pictures submitted or back to you so that you can turn them in for the yearbook.  If you did not have senior pictures taken, we can arrange for a photography student or a yearbook student to take your picture or for your LifeTouch photo from the beginning of the year to be used.  Please stop by to talk to me or go to see Mrs. Mullen, the Yearbook Advisor for assistance with your yearbook pictures.  (And since I'm not too proud to beg, I would LOVE to have one of your senior pictures to keep!  Each year I make an album with pictures and notes from my students in that graduating class and I'd really like to have your pictures!)

Many students are currently finalizing their plans for Senior Project.  If you are planning on participating in Senior Project at the end of your senior year, please be sure that you are meeting with Mr. Miller and meeting all of his deadlines so that you can have this exciting experience.

I mentioned the need for working on your FAFSA with your parents and it bears repeating because deadlines are real and you need to make sure you are giving yourself every advantage financially for college.  Along those same lines, please make sure you are working on applying for any scholarships for which you qualify.

I am out of the building tomorrow, so I hope you have a great weekend!
