[av_toggle title=’Graduation Party‘ tags=”]

FINAL DATE FOR PAYMENT/RESERVATIONS FOR PARTY WILL BE MAY 5th, 2017

The graduation party will be held on Friday, May 19th, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. at Glenwoodie Golf Course. The dinner will be served family style, consisting of tossed salad, soup, fried chicken, Italian sausage, mostaccioli, vegetable, dessert, and soft drinks.  Parents should pick-up their students at 9:00 p.m.

If parents (parents only, no siblings, etc.) would like to attend and have dinner with the students, the cost will be $25.00 for each parent.

Boys should wear dress pants and sport coats. Girls should wear dresses, gowns, or pantsuits (low-cut, or revealing dresses are not allowed). Limousines, tuxedos and formals are not appropriate because they place undue pressure on parents and students to spend more money than is necessary for such an occasion. Students not following these guidelines will not be permitted to attend the dance.

We cannot accept reservations after May 5th because we have to give our final count to Glenwoodie Golf Club.

[av_toggle title=’Tickets‘ tags=”]

Each eighth grade graduate will receive four (4) tickets.  No extra tickets will be issued.  This is due to safety & occupancy codes. Admission to graduation exercises will be BY TICKET ONLY! 

EVERYONE entering must have a ticket (except the graduate). All tickets will be distributed to the graduate at the end of our last practice.

*Reminder – Any school fees incurred during the school year

must be paid before graduation fees can be paid.

All the graduates’ temporary records will be sent to either Bloom High School or Homewood-Flossmoor High School (Homewood-Flossmoor for students living in Glenwood Manor, or Bloom High School for all other graduates) unless a transfer is signed in our office by a parent or guardian advising us to send their records to another school.

Please come to the Brookwood Junior High School office to sign this student transfer form before May 30th, 2017.  Again, this is only if students are going to a school other than Bloom or Homewood-Flossmoor.
