Dear Senior Parent/Guardian:
It is time to begin preparations for the upcoming senior events! In just a few months your senior will be
ending their high school career and moving on to college, military, the workforce, or embarking on some
other exciting challenge after graduation. Enclosed is a list of upcoming senior events, and we encourage
your senior to participate and celebrate in these exciting activities.
This year the senior class will travel to Carowinds on Friday, May 26th for a day of fun at the park. In
order to pay for the trip, we are asking each senior to sell at least 6 Krispy Kreme BOGO Cards (over
$80.00 value) for $16.00 which will pay for their park ticket and their senior breakfast. The
fundraiser will start Feb. 6, 2017 and end February 17, 2017. All monies and order forms must be
turned in to Mrs. Blount by Feb. 17th. Once orders for the cards have been placed and turned in to Mrs.
Blount, students will receive the cards by the next business day. Please help your senior sell to friends,
family and your place of work. If a senior decides not to sell the Krispy Kreme cards, the Carowinds
ticket will cost $40 and the senior breakfast will cost $5. If a senior has a seasons pass, students will
only need to pay $7 for the bus and $5 for the senior breakfast. The Carowinds ticket money and senior
breakfast money ($45) or ($12) will be due to Mrs. Blount-Room D129 by Friday, April 28th, 2017.
Any senior who owes money at Forestview, a school club or organization, must pay all debts in full by May
19, 2017. Seniors that owe monies will be notified during advisory/homeroom. Seniors may not
participate in graduation ceremonies if fines, fees, uniforms, dues or library books are not paid in full.
Lastly, if your company/business or family would like to make a monetary donation to help fund either
the senior day at Carowinds or the senior breakfast, please fill out the enclosed form and mail to
Forestview High School, Attention: Angie Blount. These donations will be used to pay for the
transportation to Carowinds, decorations and door prizes for the senior breakfast. In addition, if any
parent would like to help with the senior breakfast, please contact Angie Blount at 704-861-2625 or
email at [email protected] .
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we prepare for a successful and memorable
graduation!
Sincerely,
Jenny Cabe
