Now that spring is here, graduation is just around the corner! We are eagerly anticipating celebrating alongside graduates during various events. The dinner, dance and Safe Grad will be on the evening of June 24th at the RBC Convention Centre. Parents and families are welcome to purchase tickets to join for the dinner, witness the grand march, and share in a special parent-graduate dance to celebrate your child's achievements. Save the date for this memorable event!
Graduates wishing to attend the dinner and dance must complete the Safe Grad Contract Form by May 12th (a late fee will be applied for contracts completed after this date).
If they have not received their contract – they need to pick it up from their Den teacher here at school. There is a second contract, if they wish to bring a guest to the Safe Grad.
Once the Safe Grad Contract has been processed, the total ticket number(s) graduates have requested will be added to their school account. Tickets are $105 each for graduate/guest. ($80 for family members attending the dinner)
Official ticket sales will take place in person at the REC office between Tuesday May 20th – Friday June 6th. Cash or cheque only at this time.
