It has definitely been a year of changes for everyone, and we appreciate your patience as we navigate our way through this school year. With regulation changes for outdoor events and the number of ticket sales, we will now be able to host one combined Junior/Senior Formal on Saturday, May 15, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. There will no longer be an event on Friday, May 14.  We look forward to an exciting “Evening Under the Stars” all together beneath our big tent. If you are a junior and can no longer attend with the date change to May 15, please talk to Mr. Holtrop for a refund. Thank you again for walking alongside us in these ever-changing times.

Commencement
Sunday, June 6

Performance Trust Field
Thank you for your patience as we plan for a commencement service on campus in place of Wheaton College’s Edmund Chapel.  In a previous communication, we had mentioned that each family would receive a minimum of four tickets.  As we have reviewed current guidance in Illinois for gatherings, we no longer need to limit the number of guests for our ceremony.  We will provide seating on Performance Trust Field for nearly 1500.  If you do not get a seat on the field, there will be additional seating in the bleachers as well as room for guests to set up their own chairs outside of the stadium (viewing from a distance is possible thanks to our jumbotron). The gate will open at 2:30 p.m. for general admission seating.
