Our hearts are with our seniors, who had planned on celebrating with their friends during all the May events scheduled. Due to COVID 19, we will be adhering to the Governor's guidelines that restricts groups larger than 10 to gather for social purposes.
We have worked with Active, the registration and payment online service, and we will be refunding the following MAY EVENTS CANCELLED:

We appreciate your patience as these refunds are being made.
Here are the ways you may be refunded:
- If you paid per event, you will get dollar for dollar refund.
- If you paid lump sum, you will be refunded the discount price for the events being refunded: $8 for Powder Puff, $8 Baccalaureate, and $16 for Senior Field Day making your refund a total of $32.
- Refunds will go directly to the credit card used on Active.
- If you paid by check, you will receive a check in the mail.
Please email Kim Meissner @kmeiss27@gmail.com, if your credit card used on Active is no longer valid.
All the Best,
Class of 2020 Senior Moms
