Senior Newsletter - September, 2000

From Ms. Owens, Senior Sponsor

WELCOME BACK TO KHS!

I do hope that your summer was a happy one and that you are ready to work very hard in your senior year. This newsletter and the bulletin board outside of my room 303 will be two ways to communicate to you this year. Be sure to check the calendar outside my room for dates that the Herff Jones representative will be here. Herff Jones Company is the one who will provide you with the cap and gown, the announcements and memory books, etc.

HERFF JONES INFORMATION

The first day that the Herff Jones representative will be at KHS is on October 9^th. On that day they will give you information about the cost of announcements, memory books, mugs, and senior name cards. On October 12^th and 13^th, they will be here to get your deposit and your order. If you wish to order a senior ring, you may do so at this time as well.

SENIOR PICTURES FOR THE YEARBOOK

Ms. Rees has set the last date to take your senior portraits for September 5^th. Appointments will be made during lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. You must have an appointment to have your picture made. Sitting fee charges will be $20 or $30. The charge depends on the number of poses you wish.

CLASS OFFICERS

If you wish to be a Senior Class officer, come by my room (303) and pick up an application. These applications are due back to me by Friday, September first.

The election will be next week. You will vote through your English or social studies classes if we do not have homeroom next week. If you do not have either English IV or World History, please come by Room 303 after school to vote. Remember that your class officers must be responsible young adults because they will be conducting the senior class meetings. They will be your contact people to notify me of concerns and questions relating to the senior class. Please vote for responsible people for these offices.

CLASS DUES

Until October 25^th, class dues are $80 (package C). After that date they will be $90 with a late fee added periodically. For your $80 (if you pay before Oct.25^th), you get a yearbook, senior class luncheon, baccalaureate ceremony, and graduation ceremony. If you wish a KHS senior t-shirt and a senior class video, the price is $120(package A) until October 25^th. The video includes homecoming scenes, Black History Program highlights, prom, baccalaureate, and graduation. In addition, your parents may make an appointment with Mr. John Davis to tape a message especially for you. If you wish only the t-shirt and class dues, the price is $95 (package B) only until October 25^th.

CLASS DUES CONTINUED

Be aware that you must pay class dues before you go to the prom. By the time of the prom, the basic class dues will probably be about $100 which includes the late fees. BE AWARE THAT YOU MUST PAY SENIOR DUES EVEN IF YOU DO NOT GRADUATE IN JUNE BUT IN SUMMER SCHOOL.

When you are paying Ms. Owens for you senior class packages, put your money order or cash in an envelope which contains this information: your name as you wish it to appear on your diploma; your address and phone number; your height; and your t-shirt size. Also, put whether you are buying package A, B, or C. All this information was in the letter I sent to you in June of 2000.
