In response to many requests, we are allowing parents to take part in the graduation photo that is taking place next week when seniors are coming to the HS for the shooting of the graduation video. In a previous email and calls to parents, we discussed the graduation video and the process of making the video. I discussed upon finishing your part in the video, proceeding to Shikellamy HS Stadium to have your photo taken by Mr. Solomon. It is at this time that parents are allowed to enter the stadium with you and have your senior photo taken together. Your parents should arrive at the same time you arrive for the video. Also, they should enter the stadium when you enter the stadium and leave once your picture is taken. Your parents cannot enter the school at any time. We will have an administrator present at the stadium to help this process. We will be calling tomorrow (5/29/20) to discuss this more with each graduate's parents. Thank you and Go Braves!!
The Class of 2020 Graduation will be held either on June 25th at the Point Twp Drive-in or June 26th at Shikellamy HS Stadium. The decision on what type and location of graduation will be made on June 12th. This decision will be based on what PA Department of Health and Pennsylvania Department of Education allows for Northumberland County. We will communicate out to everyone whether we will have a video graduation at Point Twp Drive-in or a Socially Distanced Graduation as soon as the decision is made on the 12th of June. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Stay Strong and Healthy....Go Braves!!

The #ThinkBIGVirtualProm will be an online prom production that will air on social media on Wednesday May 27th at 7:00 PM. For this event, we are encouraging students to get dressed up as if they were going to the real prom. As they are watching the production, which will be filled with entertainment from DJ’s and local musicians, students should create Zoom and Google Hangout meetings to dance and interact with their peers. They will be posting their pictures to Instagram, their dance moves to TikTok, and using Snapchat filters, all while using the #ThinkBIGVirtualProm hashtag.
How Do Students Get Involved:
1. Buy a Ticket To The Prom: Buying a $5 ticket to the prom enables students to be eligible for several $100 gift cards to places like Amazon, Knoebels, Dunkin Donuts, TicketMaster, and Sheetz. Student do not need to buy a ticket to the prom in order to watch the production and participate.
2. Register as a Fundraiser for Their District: By registering as a fundraiser, students can help their respective districts “win” the #ThinkBIGVirtualProm. Students will be able to create their own unique fundraising page that they can send to friends and family members asking them to donate to ThinkBIG. By registering as a fundraiser for their respective district, they will get a unique fundraising link that will credit all solicited donations to their unique page, and to their district’s page. The top fundraising districts will receive monetary prizes that will be put towards their school’s prom next year. Additionally, the top individual fundraisers across all districts will be crowned the #ThinkBIGVirtualProm King and Queen, and win a $500 Amazon gift card. The website is always live, so students can visit the site at any time to see what districts and what individuals are in the lead.
How Do Teachers Get Involved:
1. The students involved in this initial planning commented how much they miss their teachers and want them to be involved with this production. Teachers should also follow the ThinkBIG Facebook page and Instagram page and tune into the production. During the production, teachers will be encouraged to post their dance moves or their throwback prom pictures, while using the hashtags #ThinkBIGVirtualProm and #ThinkBIGVirtualPromChaperone. If allowed, please reach out to your district about posting these videos and images to the district’s Facebook page to allow for students to easily view them.
