No, there won't be any tassels this time. 

All cadets will receive a complimentary copy of the class book.  If you haven't already sent in your Parent Sponsor Page form, please do so now.  The money received from the Sponsor pages is used to help fund and increase the quality of the class books for each cycle.  The deadline for getting a personalized message included in the classbook is 1-Nov. 

Also, you have the option of ordering class rings, pictures and TYA logo merchandise.  Don's Photography now offers the option to purchase a picture of your cadet on graduation day with 50% of the profit going to TYA as a fundraising activity. Go to the FAQ page then Class Items for details.

Question - Will the cadets still have the opportunity to receive a cap tassel? My daughter was looking forward to a little graduation memento. I am so proud of my daughter, she has come a long way since starting back in July. Thank  you TYA for the work that is accomplished with these young people. My daugher now has a better out look on life and is now moving in positive direction.

Question 1 - No, unfortunately D&C is used for cadet training.  We are looking into using video of different aspects of the cadet life on the website.  I don't know if we will get anything going this cycle but I'll try.  If we can, I'll work on getting something with D&C first.  This is something that we are trying to do for the future.

Question 2 - We received official word last week that the cadets will graduate in their Class A's again starting with the class.
