2016 Senior Letter for Graduation
Dear Senior Students, Parents and/or Guardians,
We will soon be sharing an exciting time in your life – graduation. Our commencement exercises will take
place inside the South Florida Fairgrounds Expo Center on May 25, 2016, at 4:00 PM. We have planned many
activities leading up to this special event, and the information below outlines the dates and times of these activities,
as well as the expectations surrounding them. We, the staff at Wellington Community High School, ask for your
cooperation in making these last weeks an enjoyable experience for all.
To ensure that all events and activities are positive and safe for all involved, every graduate must adhere to all
school rules and regulations during school and at all school-sponsored activities and events. These rules include
incidents of fighting and/or use or possession of drugs, alcohol, tobacco products, or weapons. If a student fails
to adhere to school rules, he or she will not be allowed to participate in scheduled senior activities, including the
graduation ceremony.
SENIOR ACTIVITIES AND PROJECT GRADUATION
In order to participate in the senior activities, students must pre-register by May 6. This year’s event includes
an afternoon of bowling on May 24. Students must prepay for the event, complete the necessary permission slip,
and submit them to Ms. Farris in room 2-134 by the deadline. Additional details and costs will be distributed at
a later date through English classes.
The only authorized post-graduation activity is Project Graduation, which is sponsored by parent volunteers
and hosted at the Wellington Recreational Center on Pierson Road. This full night of entertainment is for Wellington
High School graduates only. This all-night party begins at 10:00 PM and ends at 5:00 AM the next morning. There
will be tons of food, games, a DJ, inflatable games, photo both, and a hypnotist. Attendees are required to stay
for the duration of the event and parents will be notified if a graduate fails to appear. The $10.00 ticket includes
a T-shirt and a gift card. Registration forms were distributed in English classes and tickets are on sale the week
of April 25 during lunch. Students must have a signed waiver in order to purchase a ticket.
Please note that no other activity or senior trip is condoned or authorized by Wellington Community High
School or the School District of Palm Beach County.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
In order to participate in the graduation ceremony, a senior must have completed his/her required credits,
have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0, and have documented twenty (20) hours of community service. If
every requirement is not completed by 3:00 PM on May 19, 2016, that senior will not be able to participate in the
May 25, 2015, graduation ceremony.
SENIOR CHECKOUT
Senior checkout will occur on Friday, May 20, 2016 in the Theatre. Students will clear obligations, the senior
survey, and pick up the cap and gown. Students will report to checkout as follows:

SENIOR OBLIGATIONS
Prior to participating in any senior activity, all financial obligations must be cleared through Mrs. Heller in
the main office. The deadline for clearing obligations in order to participate in the graduation ceremony is May
20, 2016. Seniors with outstanding obligations may not participate in the graduation ceremony.
CAPS, GOWNS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND MEMORABILIA
Caps and gowns will be delivered on campus to graduates on May 20, during senior checkout in the theatre.
A student who needs to purchase a gown may do so by bringing $55.00 in cash or money order on either May
20, or to the mandatory rehearsal on May 23. All students must wear the same royal blue gown from Balfour.
GRADUATION REHEARSAL
Graduation rehearsal is a mandatory activity for graduates who intend to participate in the graduation
ceremony. Rehearsal begins at 3:30 PM in Wellington High School’s theater and ends at 5:30 PM on May 23,
2016. Seniors who fail to attend rehearsal will forfeit their graduation tickets and their right to participate in the
graduation ceremony. Exceptions may apply to students who produce documented evidence of a mandatory
college registration or of a medical emergency to Ms. Farris.
GRADUATION TICKET INFORMATION
Each graduating senior will receive six (6) tickets to the graduation ceremony. These tickets will be distributed
at the end of rehearsal on May 23.
At this point in time, we have no extra tickets. If some should become available, they will be distributed
equally on Tuesday, May 24, to those graduates who submit a notarized request signed by the parent/guardian of
record at graduation rehearsal requests submitted prior to this date will not be honored. Remember, we do not
expect to have extra tickets; if there are some, there will be very few! The graduating senior has the responsibility
of distributing tickets to family members; tickets are not given directly to parents.
GRADUATION CEREMONY
The South Florida Fairgrounds is located at 9067 Southern Boulevard, West Palm Beach, FL 33411. The
commencement ceremony will be held in the Expo Center.
For the benefit of family and graduates, Grad Images will photograph the seniors on stage as they receive
their diplomas and again after they exit the stage. During the ceremony, the district will stream the graduation
so that interested parents may make personal copies of the ceremony. Members of the audience are NOT
permitted to leave their seats to photograph or videotape the graduates.
Doors will be opened at 3:00 PM. All guests, including children, must show their tickets at the door. Seating
is on a first-come basis, and saving seats for late arriving guests is not permitted. Handicapped seating is available
for the guests restricted to wheelchairs and one companion. Handicapped and elderly guests, plus one additional
person, may enter the building early.
Ten minutes prior to the beginning of the ceremony, the expo center doors will close. After the procession
of graduates has cleared the lobby, the front doors will reopen. To maintain the dignity of the ceremony, no air
horns, noisemakers, balloons, or signs will be permitted in the building. These items will be confiscated at the
doors with no guarantee of return.
DIRECTIVES FOR GRADUATES on May 25, 2016
Graduating seniors must arrive by 2:30 PM and proceed immediately to their assigned seats in the western
Expo building where they will remain until directed to exit by the accompanying faculty members. Upon arrival,
graduates should be dressed appropriately. Girls may wear dresses or dress pants with dressy shoes. (Backless
shoes may pose a danger when climbing the stairs to the stage.) Boys should wear dress shoes and socks,
dark-colored dress slacks, and light-colored shirts with ties. No jeans, casual sandals, or tennis shoes are
permitted. (Students wearing unacceptable attire will be removed from the graduation line.) Graduates may not
carry personal items (keys, cell phones, etc.) since there is no secure storage area.
Caps and gowns must be worn during the ceremony. Only school-approved cords and accessories may be
worn with the gown. Caps should be free of decoration and each senior’s name should be written inside his/
her cap. A Balfour representative will be on hand to assist with any problems.
Following the ceremony, seniors will return to the western building to collect their actual diplomas. Graduates
must present their caps with their names written inside in order to receive their diplomas. Afterwards, they may
meet their families outside of the Expo building.
This formal activity brings closure to a successful high school experience. This will be an exciting time for all
involved. Let us be courteous to one another so that everyone will depart filled with happiness and pride. Once
again, please remember that adherence to all school rules is required in order to participate in senior activities,
including the graduation ceremony.
Should you have additional questions regarding senior activities or the graduation ceremony, please email
Ms. Farris at marie-amalie.farris@palmbeachschools.org. You may also check the senior webpage, http://
wchsseniors.weebly.com. Mrs. Heller may be reached for questions concerning obligations at 795-4901.
We hope that the activities planned for the Class of 2016 will provide a source of pleasurable memories for
graduates and parents alike. We look forward to experiencing this special event with you and your graduates.
Sincerely,
Mario Crocetti
Principal

Miss Debbie
by Arlene Einhorn
No longer will we see your face,
As we walk around this empty place;
Your voice will no longer fill our ears,
All we have now is beautiful tears;
Miss Debbie’s name will no longer be heard;
But will be sung by a beautiful bird,
Your kids will struggle everyday;
And in the end will find their way,
We’ll never forget the job that you’ve done;
To try and help each and everyone.

FCCLA Heads to San Diego, CA in July!!!
Congratulations to the Varsity Cheerleading Competition team on a
record breaking season! Led by Coach Matt Mounts and local cheer coaches
Stephanie Brodbeck and Robbie Gregory, the cheerleaders are 2015 FHSAA
State Runner-Ups and Ranked 2nd in the Nation!
Early in the season, the Varsity
Cheerleading team earned several 1st
place finishes in local competitions and
advanced to the Florida High School Athletic
Association (FHSAA) state competition.
Although Coach Mounts was unable to
attend, he was certainly there with them in
spirit, face-timing them after they won 2nd
place, a new school record, in the Class 2A Small Non-Tumbling Division. The
following weekend, the team attended UCA Nationals competing against some
of the best teams in the Nation. Hours after learning of the passing of their
beloved Coach Mounts, the team rallied together and performed flawlessly
in his honor to advance to semi-finals. The next day, with support from each
other and other competing teams, they performed another flawless routine
advancing to finals. For their final performance of the season, the team left
it all on the floor and earned a school best of 2nd in the Nation! The small
token hearts they wore with them was a reminder to each girl of Coach Mounts
and his love for them. It was a season to remember with many life lessons
mixed into cheerleading. They all know Coach Mounts is so proud of them
and their resiliency to finish their season strong.
Congratulations to team members: Bre Clemente, Alicia Lowenstein,
Savannah Race, Monica Schell, Juliann Vocaturo, Jhona Navarrete, Olivia
Buzzanca, Mia Deluca, Courtney Kleino, Mackenzie King, Emily Mozdierz,
Jessica Pass, Kylie Stellway, Briana Vasquez, Jillian Kelly, Taylor Poirer and
Ali Torregrosa. Also a special THANK YOU to Terry Roberto for jumping in last
minute to support and travel with the team to States and Nationals.
