There were two parts to the note: 1) A short poll directed at the 8th grade families regarding Cap & Gown Mass and Graduation videotaping; and 2) a May Crowning (and First Holy Communion) order form.

A response to the poll is needed from all 8th Grade families. IMPORTANT: Please send your responses directly to Marita at marita.blanken@gmail.com.

PART #1

Hello to all the 8th grade families!

This is the time of year to start thinking about videos of your child's final events at St. Joseph School. We are providing the opportunity to order the May Crowning below, and want to determine interest in 8th grade Graduation versus 8th grade Final Tuesday Mass.

Please let me know if you will be interested in future videos. This will help us determine how we should contract with Concept One Video.

_______ I would prefer a Graduation Video @ $20 each
_______ I would prefer a Tuesday 8th grade Cap & Gown Mass Video at $20 each
_______ I will not be ordering a video for the Graduation or the Cap and Gown Mass

Thanks, and please see the May Crowning order form below. We do have a required minimum. If this is not met, we will not be able to supply this service. Feel free to email me if questions.
