IMPORTANT NEWS FOR SENIORS
GRADUATION ALERT
Dear Seniors and Parents:
Due to circumstances beyond our control Stuyvesant was forced to change this year's graduation date and venue. Graduation for the Class of 2010 will now take place on Thursday, June 24th at the Palace Theater. The ceremony will begin at 11:30 a.m. The Palace Theater is located on Broadway at 175th Street in Manhattan.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Hopefully this announcement is early enough to amend any previous plans. We look forward to another fantastic graduation, this time at the Palace Theater.
Sincerely,
James A. Lonardo
