For Your Information & Action
Graduation Tickets: Seniors can get their graduation tickets from Lauren starting next week. In order to get tickets, all obligations must be met--community service must be completed, they must be in good standing academically, textbooks and other school materials must be returned, class dues must be paid, and any other outstanding obligations must be met. Alesia is compiling this list. If any students have questions, please send them to Lauren.
Thomas Bisbee Parking Spot: On June 19 at 9:30am (right after the period 7 final) there will be a “send off ceremony” in memory of Thomas Bisbee. Please join us outside. The ceremony will last about 25 minutes. People will have the opportunity to share a memory and say hello to his parents. In lieu of the parking spot, we will be dedicating a tree to Thomas’ memory by the fields in the woods.
FY 19 Orders: All orders using FY 19 funds should be encumbered and orders placed by June 10th. Any items not received by July 15th will result in the PO being voided and the need for the item/s to be reordered in the new fiscal year.

Collaboration and Engagement:
- Thank you to Kirsti Wiemokly and Dan Korpita for organizing the Senior Send-Off on Friday! The kids had a great time and it was a wonderful way to end their senior year.
- Thank you to the teachers who spent their prep on Friday hanging out with the seniors at the Senior Send Off!
- What do a Guidance Counselor, Administrative Assistant, Technology Director, and Food Service Manager have in common? Softball, of course! Patti Richmond, Taffy Bassett-Fox, Kim Florek and Liz Moulton teamed up this year to bring their coaching talents to the softball field for the JV team and it is paying off as the Lady Raiders head into their final 4 games of the season with a 15-0 record!"
