July Newsletter

Welcome to the Class of 2027's Senior Year!

We are so excited to get this year started and make it the most memorable for all of our Class of '27 Wolverines! We will be sending monthly newsletters to make sure everyone is up to speed on all events. Please be sure to follow our social media pages to stay informed in between newsletter releases.

The parent-sponsored senior events have become a tradition at Wakeland and something every class looks forward to as they approach their final year. Information regarding all of the events, ticket purchases, sponsorships and volunteer opportunities are available on our website (http://www.wakelandseniorclass.com).

Each event will have an associated student contribution for attendance. Some event pricing is more than others. There is an option to pay for all events at one time or to pay individually. If your senior can attend all events, we are encouraging parents to purchase the Lump Sum All Senior Events package. This will ensure your senior has a ticket to all events and you don't have to worry about anything the rest of the year. It will also help in the planning for the events.

Please fill out the volunteer form on our website, if you are interested in helping! We have an awesome group of moms planning each event!

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions (whsseniorparentleads@gmail.com). Let's make it a great year for our seniors!

Sincerely,

Kelli Tarver, Abby Trapp, Sarah Hayward & Sarah Adams
