Last Friday, we celebrated "Decision Day" with our seniors. Students wrote out their plans for after graduation & posted it on the wall in the cafeteria, had an ice cream treat, & received prizes. We had a drawing in which each senior received something that might be helpful or enjoyable in the future - from candy bars & decks of cards to hammocks & college logo shirts to a mini-fridge & microwave. A big thank you to Forest Area Credit Union, Antioch Hills Golf Club, Crystal Mountain, and the individual staff and community members who donated for the giveaway. We appreciate your generosity! We will be posting pictures of the students, a few each day, between now & graduation to continue the celebration. We are very proud of our soon-to-be graduates. Congratulations to the Class of 2021!
