Randalls Card
It's Easy.  It's Simple.  It's Money for Project Graduation!
Do you have a Randalls Card?   Is your Randalls Card linked to Project Graduation in the Good Neighbor Program?
If you answered no to either of these questions, you need to contact the customer service department at Randalls right away.  This program is no cost to you but helps to fund Project Graduation.  Randalls will pay Project Graduation a percentage of your total purchases every time you use your card.  All you need to do is link your card to our Good Neighbor account (#4163).  You can have up to 3 different Good Neighbor programs designated for your card.  There is a short form to complete and turn in the next time you are at the customer service department at Randalls.  It's that easy!

TODDLER PICTURE CONTEST
      As you are culling through those photos for the Senior Ad in the yearbook, don't forget to pull a toddler picture and enter it in the Toddler Picture Contest for Project Graduation.   Select a cute or funny (no naked!) photo of your child, age 18 months to 3 years.  Seniors match those darling faces with the names of their fellow graduates during the party. They can win $$ so give them a head start and submit one they are sure to recognize! 
      Enlarge your photo to an 8x10 size or make a copy of an existing 8x10,  put your senior's name and phone number on the back in pencil and either drop it off in the Counselor's office or mail it to Toddler Picture Contest, c/o Julie Ligon, 3005 Creek's Edge Pkwy, Austin= TX 78733.  ONE PHOTO PER SENIOR AND IT WILL NOT BE RETURNED!!!

NOSTALGIA WALL
Parents, it's time to start collecting pictures for the nostalgia wall that will be displayed at Project Graduation.  We need you all to send in COPIES of pictures of the past 13 years of your childs schooling.  COPIES of pictures can be turned into Karen Allen's desk in the counselors' office.  If you have any questions email Sandra Campbell at sandracampbell@austin.rr.com.

 
CLASS OF 2010 DVD AND SLIDESHOW

     Nina French is putting together the slideshow DVD of the Senior Class of 2010 that will run during Project Graduation. We want every senior represented if possible. Please email her any candid shots of seniors from this year. You can send her as many pictures as you like but one person should not be in more than 10 of the pictures you submit.

Please email the pictures to her at whs2010pics@aol.com (not NinaFrench@aol.com or whspg2010@gmail.com).   She prefers group pictures with only seniors, but if a group picture containing non seniors represents a significant event this year, send it and identify the event.  If you have any music suggestions, please provide that input also.

     Every senior goes home with this DVD, and we don't want to leave anyone out.  The only way to guarantee inclusion is by submitting a picture before the May 21st - extended deadline!  One reason for the extended deadline - she wants some large group prom pictures.  She is also going to accept a few Baccalaureate pictures if you get them to her by 5pm Monday May 31.

Attached below is the 2010 Project Graduation Contract.  Early due date is March 12th. 

Also attached are the forms that were in the packet mailed to parents earlier in the school year.  If you have misplaced your copies, please print them off and mail them in to:  Project Graduation @ Westbank Drive, Austin, TX 78746.  Thank you!
