REMINDERS:
It's time to submit a senior picture of your choice for the yearbook! Send in your best senior photograph of yourself in portrait style. This works best to see your face and can be better identified by others. Please submit by APRIL 8th through email or deliver them to the art room. If you have any questions please let me know or stop by the art room.
Seniors...mark your calendars. You will be taking the MANDATORY CPR Class on Wednesday, March 24th. ALL seniors are required to be here first thing that morning for CPR training. You are only exempt if you have a current CPR certificate. You must bring in a copy of your card or certificate. If you have IHCC classes, please make arrangements with your instructor. If you graduated early or don’t come to Pekin in the morning, you WILL that day. You MUST have this in order to graduate. If you have any questions, contact Christy Gambell.
Please complete the senior spotlight email that Mrs. Wittrock sent out a few weeks ago.
