The end of the year and Graduation are fast approaching! We know that this is an exciting time and there are lots of fun and important events. However, to get to join in and walk across that Graduation stage you need to make sure your grades are passing and you finish your senior year strong! Please make sure you are checking Infinite Campus regularly, and checking in with teachers for missing assignments, and/or questions you may have. Counselors have also been communicating with families and students that are not on track. We want to see each of you walk with your class on Graduation Day!

After Prom Donations
The Severance After Prom Committee is asking for monetary donations to help with the costs of an After Prom Party at The Summit. We want to host a safe and fun event for our students within walking distance from the Embassy Suites. At The Summit, will we be able to offer unlimited bowling and lazer tag, game cards and a pizza buffet. With the monetary donations, this will help keeping the dollar value lower for our students.
If you are unable to help with money donations, we are also asking for prize donations to do raffles for the students as well.
Also, if you are interested in helping with the after prom committee in any way, please reach out to severanceafterprom@gmail.com
Thank you,

Do you or someone you know need a SCHOLARSHIP?
Last year, thanks to donor generosity, 150 scholarships were awarded through the Foundation, totaling in excess of $815,000.00
Do you know someone who should apply? Please feel free to send along this message.
The process takes a few hours to complete, but the main application is then used for many of the available scholarships, making the process easier for students. And, special note, we have scholarships available for graduating seniors, current college students, AND non-traditional students.
Here's to the good future of students in Weld seeking higher education!
