Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, neighbors, clergy, and friends may send your Senior student a special letter of congratulations on his or her upcoming graduation in May 2017. We will carefully keep these cards and letters for each student and distribute them after the Senior Breakfast. Every Senior will receive a large
RED ENVELOPE containing these messages and well wishes. The letters and cards will be kept confidential and are given to the students at the senior breakfast.
You can drop off your cards and letters at the front office in the red box labeled "RED ENVELOPES" or you can mail them to the school using the following address:

ALL CARDS AND LETTERS SENT TO THE SCHOOL OR DROPPED OFF MUST BE MARKED "RED ENVELOPE" ON THE OUTSIDE TO ENSURE DELIVERY!

IMPERATIVE that you follow these guidelines:
- SEND ONLY CARDS OR LETTERS 8 ½" x 11 OR SMALLER.
- DO NOT SEND PACKAGES OF ANY KIND!
- DO NOT SEND ANYTHING OF VALUE (i.e.: cash, checks, gift cards) we can't be responsible for it
- If sending several envelopes inside a larger one, PUT THE STUDENT'S FULL NAME ON ALL ENVELOPES
