A representative from Jostens will be at Marian to meet with our seniors on Tuesday, September 27th regarding ordering their caps and gowns, graduation invitations and more. Below is additional information Jostens has provided to us:

We are privileged to assist with your families’ milestone of graduating from Marian Central Catholic this spring. Seniors will be given an information kit on 9/27 that will help them in submitting their order for the graduation cap and gown unit. Many families choose to add graduation announcements, accessories and apparel at this time as well.

Orders may be placed at school on Tuesday, October 4th during lunches or online at www.jostens.com by November 15th. The advantage of ordering at school is if you order some of the apparel items, they will be given out at school. Online apparel items are shipped directly home in a few weeks.

Thank you for allowing Jostens to share in this event and we would be happy to answer any questions – 815-477-3588 or todd.crandall.office@jostens.com.
