Finally coming to a close

The class of 2016's school year is finally coming to a close. Thursday was our last day of classes, followed by finals Friday and Monday.

On Tuesday May 31, the first of many ceremonies for seniors was held - Senior Awards Night. More than 50 scholarships and awards were presented to members of the class of 2016. Many scholarships are provided by local organizations such as the Polar Bear Foundation, the American Legion and DABA, to name a few. We were all excited and grateful to be recognized. On Wednesday afternoon, the top 15 members of the senior class were recognized at the Academic Excellence Program. Thursday was the seniors' last day, followed by the senior countdown at 2:40 p.m. It's a super exciting event where confetti and silly string are thrown and pictures are taken as the seniors are together for one of the last times.

Next week the seniors have a breakfast and practice for graduation on Wednesday morning. Graduation will begin at 7:30 p.m. at CLA on June 9. Each student will receive eight tickets to share with family and friends. If you are unable to get a ticket, there is an option to watch graduation online. NHS is partnering with Studio 99 productions to live stream the ceremony. You can either access the broadcast through Facebook or by following this link: http://www.st99productions.com/#!live/c18et.

Have a great end of the school year and make sure to congratulate the class of 2016!
