Senior Calendar

The days, they are a’flying past!  Just weeks until graduation and so many senior-centric events coming up.  The Senior Calendar was mailed to all families with a senior, but here it is, just in case.

Prom Tickets

Prom tickets are on sale this week in the Counseling office for $35, cash or check made to PPS.  If students decide at the last minute, tickets can be purchased at the door for $40. Prom is April 28, 8:30-11:30pm and will be at the Radisson Plaza this year.

Grad Bash Tickets

Grad Bash tickets are on sale!  Price is $60 and will be back on sale in the lower commons May 7-11 during both lunches with cash or check made to “PN Grad Bash”.  There is a signup/waiver form that must accompany payment in order to sign up for the buses.  This was included in the Senior Mailing in early April, or you can click on the Senior Mailing packet link above and print out that page.

Pay-to-Participate

If a student has been added to the roster of a sports team, musical cast/crew or other activity, there may be Pay-to-Participate fees that are due.  View the Pay-to-Participate information and worksheet for complete details.  Additionally, here are instructions to pay athletic or activity fees via Skyward.

Commemorative Brick Sale!

Here’s a fantastic opportunity to ‘Leave a Legacy, Brick by Brick’  on our new athletic campus — for families, alumni, community members and businesses, student organizations or clubs, sports teams, etc.  You can also honor the memory of a loved one or maybe a beloved staff member with these personalized brick pavers.

We are proud that our students are a vital component in this brick campaign.  Our business students have been a vital part of the design process, our marketing students will be practicing their skills out in the community, our website design class has designed and coded the order website, and our technical arts students will be engraving the actual bricks.  We are very excited about the opportunity to include our students as we raise funds to beautify our campus with beautiful fixtures, lighting, banners, outdoor furniture etc, as the new athletic facilities come online, as well as bolster the departments and programs taking part.  Please consider Leaving a Legacy, Brick by Brick, right here on Northern’s campus. Order at pnbricksale.com.
