Beacon Senior Prom 2012
Written by Sean Leon on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 09:34:40 EST:

Seniors of 2012, Prom is merely days away! If you (or a guest) plan on going to prom, the last day to pay is Tuesday, May 22, 2012! Again, this is THE deadline as we must pay Bridgewaters on Wednesday, May 23, 2012.

Also, if you bring a bag into the venue, it is subject to search upon entry and must be checked and cannot be checked out until you leave. Once you leave the venue, you cannot reenter!

Finally, Thornton Studios will be on site to capture a lovely photo of you and your date/friends. CLICK HERE for photo package pricing.

Directions to Bridgewaters

Here's to a most wonderfully memorable evening!

Attention seniors! Want to see your memories live at graduation? Send in fun (appropriate) photos of you and your friends throughout high school to beaconslideshow2012@beaconschool.org to be used in a slideshow of Beacon seniors.

We also want seniors to talk about their Beacon experience on camera. We are recording C and E bands in room 114 (the waffle room) May 14-18. It'll only take a minute of your time. Please come!

If you have any questions, please contact Cosmo, Kat M., or Keyarra.

Beacon Ink is Coming!
Written by Sarah Fink on Tuesday, May 08, 2012 11:07:13 EST:

We are almost done with our beautiful magazine and it's going to be the best issue yet.

Again, if you want to reserve a copy (or several), please contact Ms. Fink at sfink@beaconschool.org ASAP. I will have to stop taking pre-orders shortly. Pre-ordered copies are $10 each and they are well worth it. We sold out of every single copy last year and I would hate for anyone to miss out, especially if your work is being published. I can take orders from students paying cash, but I can only accept checks through the mail from parents.

Thank you for supporting our magazine and, for those of you not pre-ordering, make sure you watch for our sale announcements, starting at the end of the month.
