Yearbook Distribution Day is tomorrow, May 19th! The yearbooks will be delivered to each student who ordered a yearbook during 5th period, and the students will be required to sign that they received their yearbook. If a student pre-ordered a yearbook and is absent tomorrow or checked out before 5th period, they will need to go to the technology lab to sign for and pick up their yearbook when they return to school. Just a reminder that yearbooks did sell out in March. There will be a very limited number of yearbooks available to sell on Wednesday, May 21st, after the morning announcements for $50.00, cash only, first come, first served.
