Cap, Gown and Graduation Announcements--It’s Almost Order Time!
In early January, Herff Jones will distribute order packets to all seniors. These packets will contain pricing information
for caps, gowns, tassels, announcements and many other graduation-related items and souvenirs. Then, a Herff Jones
representative will be here on Thursday, January 21 (at Maplewood around 8:00 a.m. and at CHS from 10:00 – 1:00
in the cafeteria), to take cap and gown and announcement orders. A Herff Jones representative will return on Tuesday,
January 26 to take orders from anyone who was absent on the original order date. You may also place your orders by
contacting our sales representatives, Rick and Larry Call of Herff Jones, 4468 Berry Hill, Stow, OH 44224, 330-6788138 or fax 300-678-8163, call902@aol.com. If you intend to participate in the graduation ceremony, you MUST
have a cap, gown and tassel which can be purchased for $28.00 (this includes tax & handling). If purchasing additional
items such as announcements, a $60.00 deposit is due at time of order placement. (This deposit will cover the cost of the
cap, gown & tassel too. Checks made payable to Herff Jones.)
Photos Wanted for the Graduation Slide Show
To make our graduation special, we would like to produce a slide show featuring all seniors. Please submit two photos of
yourself with a fellow classmate or a small group of classmates. Put your name on the back of the photos and turn
them in to any class officer or Mrs. Cutlip in room #117 by Feb 18. To ensure optimal photo reproduction, the faces of
those pictured should be the size of a quarter or larger. We will return all photos (unharmed) before graduation. (Photos
may range from elementary, to middle to high school—we would like to include many different types of school and
childhood memories). Please save digital photos to a disk or cd and label it with your name and the name of those
pictured or email them to cutlip@crestwood.sparcc.org. Note: if you have a favorite photo that you would like to be
included in the slide show, attach a note to the back of the photo asking us to “please use this photo.” Copies of the
senior tribute video will be available for purchase in May from Mr. Marfy for $20. Also, upcoming newsletters will have
more information about purchasing “CHS 10 Graduate” yard signs from Mr. Marfy ($7.00 each).
Senior Class Picnic & Trip
This year’s senior class picnic and trip will be held on Tuesday, June 1. The picnic will be held at Jack Lambert Stadium
beginning at 10:00 a.m. and concluding around 2:30 p.m. Then, participating seniors need to be back at the high school
by 4:45 to check in for the trip. Busses will depart from the front of the high school at 5:00 p.m. and arrive at the Nautica
Queen by 6:00 p.m. for a cruise featuring dinner and dancing. Busses will return at approximately 11:00 p.m. The cost
for BOTH the trip and picnic will be approximately $35 per person. This price includes school bus transportation to
Cleveland and a dinner cruise aboard the Nautica Queen, as well as a continental breakfast on the morning of the picnic, a
catered lunch, unlimited use of the inflatables and other carnival-like entertainments at the picnic and door prizes (most
years, between $500-$1,000 worth of merchandise and gift cards). You must be present to win!
 A $20 deposit will be due by January 29 to reserve your spot for the trip. (Checks payable to Crestwood High
School)
 The balance of approximately $15 will be due by April 2. (Final cost is contingent upon total number of participants.

This is why we must collect a deposit on Jan. 29 to see the level of interest and determine a final cost.)
Students interested in serving on a picnic planning committee, please see Mrs. Cutlip in room #117.
*Parent volunteers to chaperone the picnic are greatly appreciated. Contact Mrs. Cutlip, senior class advisor, at (330)
274-2214, voice mailbox 417 or via email at cutlip@crestwood.sparcc.org.
**We will also need help gathering door prizes for the picnic as well as parents to provide continental breakfast
(muffins, doughnuts) and dessert items (cookies, brownies, etc.) and other “picnic” fare (pasta salad, etc.)

News from the Guidance Department & Career Counselor

The website collegeboard.com provides useful information regarding financial aid, tips for students still in the process of
applying to universities, and insight into situations where students may have been waitlisted or rejected by the university of
their choice. Also visit www.FAFSA.ed.gov, www.actstudent.org and www.mystudentedge.com (access code
XLNXQNVQ, select “student” as type of account. Create a username and password and begin using the site.).
For students planning to attend college, your goal should be to have all applications completed by Christmas break. The
holidays will be less stressful.
Some students may benefit from a technical or two year college instead of the traditional four year university. Many of our
former students have been very successful going this route. Seeking additional school beyond high school is highly
recommended. Research shows that people with only a high school degree will earn $20,000 less a year than those
completing additional training.
Anyone requiring additional information or help in completing applications, please stop in the guidance office.
Career Counselor, Mrs. Molitoris, would like to meet with every senior to discuss post high school plans including career
options, which colleges offer programs a student is looking for, how to select the best school for each student, etc. Mrs.
Molitoris is available to answer questions/offer help to any interested student or parent. Stop in room #123 or contact her via
email molitoris@crestwood.sparcc.org.
