 * End of 6 Weeks on Friday, April 19 . All work must be in by 4:00 p.m.
 * Tuesday, May 14, 4:.m. - 5:00 p.m.,  is the date and time of the End-of-Year Recognition Celebration. You must be there by 3:30 p.m. so build that into your calendar. This is a mandatory event.
 * Since this is a professional event, you will need to remember what you learned about proper dress at the beginning of the year. No party attire - professional means business. Graduation dress code fits this, so seniors shop wisely and you will get another wearing out of your garb. Ladies - nice dress, dress pants, shirt and tie for the gents. Dress shoes that you can walk in are required.
 * On Friday, April 19 , we will be addressing envelopes to your invited guests. This means that you will have to have your parents names and mailing addresses by then. You will also be preparing your field site teachers' invitations, so you will need to be ready to work.
