Each student received four tickets. We are not able to award more than four tickets per student due to gym capacity requirements. Students must come to school dressed for the moving up ceremony. All students will ride over and return from WHS on the bus. There will be light refreshments and picture opportunities at JAC upon their return. Parents, please park in the student parking lot and use the gym doors to enter the ceremony. Balloons are not permitted in the gym to avoid issues with visibility for all guests.
