Senior Spring Activities and Deadlines
Tuxedos:
Formal Affairs will be in the 8th and West room during lunches from Feb. 17th - 19th.
All seniors must be sized for their tux at this time!! Please stop in during your free
period or lunch. This is for the Senior Sports Banquet and Graduation. If you do not get
sized during this opportunity you must do so directly with Formal Affairs, since tuxedos
are required for Graduation.
Formal Affairs will return from April 27th – April 29th when you can pick out a
tuxedo for Prom. They offer good deals to Sallies Seniors. This is not required, just
offered to make your tux buying easier. This cost is not covered by Salesianum.
