SENIORS AND PARENTS:
Any flower order CHANGES need to be submitted BY TOMORROW, Tuesday, April 18th. Wednesday morning the final order will be made. Mr. Tolson is still working out the exact details of what can be paid by the school, but at this time, he says that a number of flowers will be provided at no charge by the school, but over a certain number would be charged a minimal cost. Again, he is working out the details of what that cost and what the cutoff number provided may be and we will let you know that ASAP. But, for now, if you think you would not be able to provide this minimal cost, or you have any changes to your existing estimate, please make sure those changes are submitted by the end of the day tomorrow-Tuesday, April 18th. Thank you.
