A sign-up sheet is posted outside of Miss McMurdie's room (F101) but e-mailing her at lindsey.mcmurdie@nebo.edu will get you on the list as well! Pay the finance office and bring your receipt to Miss McMurdie to pick up your DVD. *Senior Pictures: We will not be offering senior pictures through our photographer this year. Bell Photography, who takes our school pictures and did our senior pictures last year, did not have enough seniors interested in getting their pictures taken last year, and therefore won't be offering that option this year. Bell Photography indicated that in visiting with parents, they found that with all of the nice cameras people have access to now, even on their cell phones, most parents did not want to pay the money for professional pictures. *GRADUATION INFORMATION: Seniors who plan on walking at our graduation will need to rent a cap and gown from Josten s. This is a very simple process! Just go to jostens.com, enter Maple Mountain High School as your school. You will find there a selection of cap and gown packages and other graduation items. Please do this ASAP to be sure you have your graduation robes reserved! Students may keep their caps and tassels, but will turn in their rented gowns to Josten s at the end of our graduation ceremony on graduation day. Josten s will have an area set-up at graduation for students to turn in rented gowns.
