Josten's Packets


Parents,
Below is an email that was sent to all students regarding the Josten's packets that everyone received to bring home with them this extended weekend.  Hopefully this will give you all the information you need, but if you have other questions, please feel free to contact me or Belinda Cagle (whose contact information is at the bottom of the email below).

This week you will receive a Jostens order package from your SLI to take home with you over the September 28-October 1 extended break.  This will be an opportunity for you and your parents to jointly review the order information and decide on the Jostens items that you plan to purchase.  Please be sure to hold on to your package since there are no extras.

JUNIORS:  The Jostens package that you will receive is for your class ring.  There is no requirement that you purchase a class ring during your junior year, however, many students do.  The order package includes ring design information and an order form with required $50 or $80 deposit information.  In order to insure the delivery of class rings to you before your departure for the winter break, representatives from Jostens will be on campus in the student commons area near the cafeteria 5:30-7:00 PM on Wednesday, October 3 to collect your class ring order.

SENIORS:  The Jostens package that you will receive is for graduation products and class ring order information.  When making your graduation product selections, keep in mind that NCSSM only requires graduates to wear cap, tassel (not the souvenir tassel), gown, honor cord, and a special medallion which is provided by the school.  Any other items that you choose to purchase to commemorate this special occasion are optional and at you and your parents’ discretion.  A deposit of $60 is required at the time your order is placed, unless you are only purchasing a cap and gown unit.  Representatives from Jostens will be on campus in the student commons area near the cafeteria 5:30-7:00 PM on Thursday, October 4 to collect your graduation products and class ring orders.

A make-up date for ring and graduation product orders is scheduled for 5:30-7:00 PM on Thursday, October 11 in the student commons area near the cafeteria.  If you have a schedule conflict on all of the dates that Jostens will be on campus to collect orders, please let me know so that I can facilitate getting your order placed.

If you or your parents have questions, please contact me at cagle@ncssm.edu or 919.416.2960. 

Well's Fargo Cup

Congratulations to NCSSM for winning the Well's Fargo Cup for our division last year (for those of you who don't know about the Well's Fargo Cup, details can be found here)!  Not only do we have outstanding academics, we also have some great athletics as well.  Here are a couple pictures from the Well's Fargo Cup ceremony at the UNC football game this past Saturday.  Our Athletic Director, Gregory Jarvis, and our Vice Chancellor of Student Life, Joan Barber accepted the cup for NCSSM.

Mountain Pictures

We had a great time on our trip to the mountains this weekend!  Here are some of the pictures I got of us at Mount Mitchell, Crabtree Falls, and enjoying a swinging bridge over the South Toe River.
