Promotion Tickets

LETTER FOR PROMOTION TICKETS HAVE GONE OUT TODAY! PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR STUDENTS HOMEBASE TEACHER BY MONDAY, JUNE 4.

Attention SJCA Families of Promoting Students:

We are very excited to be hosting this year's 8th grade promotion at the Haugh Performing Arts Center located at Citrus College!  We anticipate this air conditioned, theater style seating venue will offer you an exceptional experience at this year's event.

Seating is limited due to the theater's policy that requires all persons -- adults, children, including babies and/or toddlers, must have a ticket.  This includes those who may be seated on your lap.  In order to be fair and allow every student to invite their family and friends, we are offering up to 8 tickets per family.  This does NOT include the student; they have seating provided in the student section.

Please indicate the number of tickets you need (8 maximum).  If you need more than the family allotment, specify the additional request.  Please do not take more tickets than you need so that we may offer more tickets to our larger SJCA families.  Please add a note if any handicap seating or special circumstances you or a family member may need.

If you have any questions regarding the distribution of tickets, please contact Ms. Lemus at 626.856.1693 ext. 5005 or at [ mailto:arleen.lemus@sjea.edisonlearning.com ]arleen.lemus@sjea.edisonlearning.com.
