Hello Class of 22 fans & families...

TODAY, May 27, we provided pickup for wristbands during lunch for the
guests of graduating students attending the large graduation on June 4.
BTA/BIS students can claim their wristbands on their campus. Each graduate
received 6 wristbands. *Some students *who completed the RSVP form before
May 17 could have received up to 4 more wristbands.

*If you DID NOT recieve your GRAD WRISTBANDS*, then please wait until the
SENIOR MEETING on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1 in the DONAHUE GYM at 1 pm. *Please
also check with your 2ND PERIOD teacher as some of them held onto the
wristbands for distribution on Friday.*

*SENIOR MEETING *will take place in the DONAHUE GYM on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1
from 1:00 - 1:30 pm. We will discuss graduation using this PRESENTATION
THAT YOU CAN PREVIEW NOW, make any last minutes announcements, and
DISTRIBUTE A FREE GRADUATION LAWN SIGN!!! Major shout out to the BHS
Development Group for their continued support of these signs and BHS
activities.

*If you are in BTA or INDEPENDENT STUDY*, your wristbands will be avaiable
on the BTA/BIS campus.

*If you DO NOT have enough wristbands*, then please ask your classmates to
see if they have any extra. We are at capacity for both ceremonies and *CANNOT
distribute any additional wristbands at this time*. If something were to
change, we will communicate that over email, e-tree, and other methods.
Please know that we will have an amazing livestream setup for anyone that
cannot make it into Jacket Stadium.

*If there is an issue with your wristbands*, please email Mr. V at
johnvillavicencio at berkeley.net ASAP to describe the issue.
