Attention: Juniors and Seniors , a message from Ms. DeLang.
This year, the Prom Committee is changing how we order Prom t-shirts. Usually, we preorder a certain amount based on the previous year and then include the price of t-shirts in the ticket amount, but this has led to issues with not having enough of a certain size or amount in general. In order to fix this problem, we have created an online store through Embellishment and Design for people to individually order their t-shirts. This is a link to the Mediapolis 2025 Prom t-shirt store. Store closes Monday April 28th. To accommodate the price, we have lowered our Prom ticket price from $30 to $20 since the t-shirts are $9.25. If you order a t-shirt, we will have them available at the dance to pick up. Thank you for your understanding.

A big thank you to Brian Krieger and Loraine Guerra from Amazon for joining us this morning! They presented to our 4th and 5th grade students, explaining their roles within the company and showing us the robotics used at Amazon. We also had the chance to hear from our own students, with three 4th graders and three 5th graders presenting their Robo Wunderkind to their classmates. It was a wonderful and informative morning!
