Senior Banquet Gifts It has been a much beloved tradition at Park Avenue to treat our graduating seniors with gifts on senior Sunday as they prepare to start the next chapter in their lives. I wanted to say thank you to the many people who give to our grads and also add some detail and reminders about the way we will set up the gift table. Our fabulous junior parents are in the process of crafting some nice baskets for each senior and these will function as gift receptacles on Sunday morning the 21st. We began doing this style of gift giving last year and will continue in this way for the foreseeable future. If you have a gift larger than a picnic basket or so we would ask that you find a way to give it to your desired senior(s) in a way other than leaving it on the table where all the gift baskets will be.
