If you received a yellow postcard invitation, be sure to attend Senior Awards Night on Wed. June 3 from 7 - 9 p.m. in the Mary Hanley Theater. All scholarships will be announced along with all the other awards your class has won over the last couple of years. There will be lots and lots of surprises, so plan to come and bring your family. If for some reason you can't attend, please let Mrs. Austin know.

Senior Awards Night - June 3

Attn: Seniors
Senior Awards Night will be happening on Wed. June 3 from 7 - 9 p.m. in the Mary Hanley Theatre. This is the night that all scholarships and awards are announced so its a really exciting event. If you receive a yellow postcard in the mail this week, it means that you have won some type of award - some awards involve money, but others do not; some awards have already been given out, but we still announce them so the whole community can see what was won. You should have filled out a survey in your English class that asked about any scholarships won. If you won any after that survey was submitted, please let Mrs. Austin know so we can be sure to include them in the awards night program. In either case, if you are invited, plan to attend this event and invite your parents as well. Any questions, see Mrs. Austin.

Students were part of a tough but fun three month-long scholarship competition that included many events. They were judged on their speaking skills, accomplishments and interview skills.
