Graduation Week & Senior Overnight

Dear Parents & Guardians,

We hope your seniors enjoyed all the activities during their last week of classes at WHS and the Prom on Saturday night.

The End-of-Year BBQ on Wednesday was a big hit! We are so grateful for all the parents who made it possible by signing up to donate all the food and supplies, as well as the team of parents who volunteered to help out. Big shout out to the Barlow Grill Masters. The generosity and hard work made the event a success and the senior class really appreciated your support!

Now we are gearing up for the week of Graduation and the Senior Overnight.

As a reminder, WHS Graduation attire for all Seniors is either a white dress/pantsuit or white tuxedo.  Seniors who did not get fitted for tuxedos last week will need to go to Formalwear LTD of Waltham, which is our recommended vendor to simplify this process. They are located at 15 Elm St., Waltham, MA, (781) 899-5727, www.Formalwearltd.com. They offer a package that includes a white tuxedo jacket, black trousers, black shoes, and socks, a black cummerbund, and a maroon bow tie. There is an extra charge for the white shirt (no button-down collars please). Formalwear LTD will distribute the tuxedos after the graduation rehearsal at the Town Green on 6/1.
