Senior Class t-shirts
Seniors, MGM is buying you a senior tshirt! We just need to know what size to order you. Please click the link below and complete the Google Form by Friday, February 5. After that date, orders will be placed and we will follow up with everyone concerning delivery. Make sure you complete the form by the deadline, because after February 5, no future orders will be placed.
Just to recap... form completed by February 5 = free tshirt. Forgetting to complete the form = you're on your own buying a tshirt that looks nothing like the rest of the Class of 2021.
