Jostens will be closing the Fall Order Program for Pottsville seniors today (Wednesday, October 29th) at midnight. Orders can be submitted online through www.jostens.com. Once the transition to the Spring Program is completed, orders will still be accepted; however, full payment will be required at the time of purchase. There also may be some items that will no longer be available for purchase, such as the tankard if available for Pottsville. This transition will not change the price of the cap and gown unit at this time.
