If you have not ordered your cap and gown yet for graduation, now would be the time to do so. The last day to order is January 19th. The website to place your order is:
https://www.buildagrad.com/lunenburghs
Also, I will be ordering diploma's soon. I ask that each of you check PowerSchool to be sure that we have your name spelled correctly or if you wish to not include your middle name on your diploma. Most students have their full first, middle and last name on their diploma. If I do not hear back from you before January 31st about making changes, I will place the order to have your full name that we have in PowerSchool on your diploma. Please let me know if you have any questions. tcooney@lunenburgschools.net
