Titan Updates
Hey Juniors! Here is some important information for you.
Dear Class of 2021 Parents,
We hope this email finds you all safe and healthy.
With the closure of schools in NYS, we obviously will not be able to hold our prom which was scheduled for June 12. With that being said, we would like to discuss financial options you have in regards to the money that was collected the week of March 9th.
*Deposit the funds and roll over to next year's senior expenses
*Checks can be voided that were submitted that week
*Cash can be refunded by sending you a check
*If you have not paid into the dues program, but purchased a ticket for prom for you or a guest, we can refund the cost of each ticket or just the guest ticket or you can roll over the money to next year's senior expenses. If paid by check, it can be voided. Cash can be refunded by sending you a check.
All other student dues paid earlier in the year will apply to next year's senior expenses.
Please let us know how you would like us to proceed by Friday May 29th.
We appreciate you working with us during these difficult times and are looking forward to a wonderful Senior year!
Thank you,
Mrs. Jurs and Mrs. Marchner

Normally at this time of year you have received one or two emails from me asking for a donation to our annual Best Buddies Friendship Walk. This walk allows us to spread the inclusion message across Western New York. However, this year the request is different.
Best Buddies is not looking to raise millions of dollars this year. While donations benefit our programs we want to deliver a message of the importance of inclusion. You may ask why inclusion is important. Inclusion
- provides opportunities for friendship;
- molds the values of the next generation;
- prepares our students for adult life in our communities; and
- cultivates an enriched learning environment
You can help by signing up for the Best Buddies VIRTUAL Friendship Walk. It will take place on June 20, 2020. To register
- https://www.bestbuddiesfriendshipwalk.org/westernny/
- click on register
- Join the One Webster Team
Again, no donation is required but if you want to donate it is greatly appreciated. The walk is virtual and once you sign up you will receive information about the event on June 20.
Thank you for supporting inclusion at Thomas, in Webster, and in Western New York.
