Dear Parents,

Next <strong>Tuesday, May 20</strong> <strong>at 7:00 PM </strong>we will celebrate the accomplishments of all of our students at the <strong>2014 De LaSalle Academy Graduation and Honors Celebration</strong> at Riverside Church. In addition to sending off our four seniors, each student will be honored for his or her extraordinary accomplishments this school year. This is a night to remember for all students and the perfect way to wrap up this fabulous school year. Students are asked to wear nice attire (dressy jeans are okay with a dress shirt, but no shorts please.). A cake &amp; punch reception will follow the ceremony.

On the morning of the <strong>20<sup>th</sup></strong>, we will travel via De LaSalle buses to Riverside Church for a rehearsal. A permission form is enclosed for you to sign and return by tomorrow. We are so excited about this special event as we bring our second year to a close!

All the best,

Mrs. Lori Riti
