Pranking Robert

So Matt decided to prank Robert for graduation by sending him the following letter. Robert fell for it and thought he was not going to graduate. Since mom was in on it too she told him to call me and see if I could help figure something out. When he called me he was freaking out and wouldn't tell me what was going on. However, eventually he did and I said I would go to the school to find out. I then called Matt and told him to call Robert to tell him what was going on. Robert was relieved to find out the truth. What a good sport!

Dear Student,

Graduation is right around the corner and we know how exciting this time is for those ready to enter into the next stage of their lives. The hard work you and your fellow classmates have done will only prepare you for the future, wether continuing education at the University level or moving directly into the workforce.

While this should be a time of celebration for you and your family, there are occasions where students fail to meet all of the requirements needed to graduate. After carefully examining your records, it appears you are two points shy of meeting those requirements set forth by the State of Illinois Education Board.

You will be able to take part in the graduation commencement on Sunday, May 24, however, you will be given an empty diploma holder until you meet the requirements needed to successfully graduate. The State of Illinois Education Board allows us to offer summer programs for students needing to fulfil their graduating requirements.

The summer program we offer is 30 days and allows students to build their personal responsibilities and give back to the school community. The tasks to be completed in the 30 days include:

• Waxing and buffing the hallway floors and gymnasium
• Scrubbing toilets
• Painting classroom and hallway walls
• Removing pen writings inside lockers and on walls
• Sweeping the parking lot
• Vacuuming classrooms
• Various landscape jobs

After graduation day, contact the Warsaw High School and we will setup a start date for you to begin working toward your graduation requirements. Once you have completed the program, your diploma will be mailed to you along with your transcripts.

If you have any questions, please contact us at the phone number below.

Sincerely,

Superintendent

Warsaw High School
