THREE WEEKS TILL GRADUATION

 

Dear Senior Parents/Guardians:

     Where has this year gone?  We are within a few weeks before your son or daughter will walk across that stage and receive their diploma from Meskwaki Settlement School.  Students and parents/guardians need to be checking grades to make sure your student has everything completed so they can attend and participate in graduation festivities.  The memories and relationship that these students have developed over the years will be cherished for a lifetime. This class has given and set such high standards for those to follow.  They have accomplished so much in the classroom, athletics, and in various activities. This is why this day is so special for students, parents, families, and for Meskwaki Settlement School and community. 

     The Seniors last few weeks will be very busy and we wanted to share one last reminder of the current and upcoming activities.
