September 30, 2009 Announcement presentation;
Receive Diploma Listing
Herff Jones will present the packages available for
purchase. Announcements are not a required purchase. You will also be able to
purchase other senior items such as t-shirts and extra tassels. None of these
purchases are required. Do not waste a lot of money. I recommend purchasing
only the number of announcements needed to send to family and friends. These
announcements do not guarantee seats at graduation. Do not bring money on this
day. You will only be looking at the items available for purchase.
