Time is flying as our seniors make the most of their final weeks at New Trier!
Graduation Attire: Gently used attire is still available. Students can check out the items outside the Senior Adviser Chairs’ office (Room 200) until May 1 (or until items sell out). Items are $25 each (cash or check) and proceeds benefit Embarc, the Senior Class Service Project.
Graduation Yard Signs can be ordered now on RevTrak; signs are $5 each. CLICK HERE to order on RevTrak (order deadline is Friday, April 12). Pickup will take place May 6 and 7; pickup details will be communicated in late April.
Thank you to all who attended our winter Senior Parent Coffee on January 25. The theme was “I’ve Applied…Now What?” If you missed the coffee, here are links to the two documents shared by our speaker:
