Guidance:
Prom tickets will go on sale today at lunch in the pit.  Bring your completed prom contracts, all colours, to the table along with your patience for the line- up, your smile for a very busy Ms. Branton and volunteers, and your $70 cash. Ms. Branton will take care of getting you your ticket and your table selection. If you have contracts for students OUTSIDE of Auburn that need to be reviewed: you can hand in your completed contract to purchase your ticket so you don’t miss the window and seating availability. They will be reviewed by our VP’s in the coming weeks. If there are any issues and a sign-in needs to be denied for some reason you will be refunded the full price of the ticket.
A reminder if you have received a scholarship offer AND would like it published in the graduation programme please bring in a copy or email a copy to Ms. Johns in the main office.
