JUNIOR RING CEREMONY UPDATE (Tues. 5/18 & Wed. 5/19) – TICKETSEach participant can now have four guests instead of two.  Because of this change,  when guests arrive, we will be checking off a list that has each participant’s name instead of using the electronic tickets from locallevelevents.  Once a student has 4 checks by their name, if any additional guests for that student come, they will have to be turned away.  Please help us avoid this situation by limiting your guests to four!   (*The deadline to sign up for the ceremony was Wednesday, April 28th.  If a student has not signed up it is too late now.) RINGStudents who ordered their ring from Graduate Sales, (Balfour) and have paid for it will receive their ring at the ceremony. Students who did not order their ring from Graduate Sales will need to bring their ring to the main office Monday, 5/10-Friday, 5/14.     The ring should be in a small ring box with a label taped on top with the student’s first and last name clearly printed. The rings will be locked in the safe each night.
