Dry Grad 2020 - Stay in the Loop!

Next Meeting Tuesday April 28 @ 7pm

Last week several parents hopped on a zoom call with Mr. Westhaver and the Dry Grad Exec and brainstormed alternative options for our graduates of 2020. As the situation is ever evolving, we are viewing this more as a Grad Class of 2020 brainstorm and COVID19 status update, instead of just Dry Grad Party.  Some of the ideas that floated around included:

Plan A:  June Outdoor Party

Plan B:  August Party

Plan C:  December “Homecoming”

Plan D:  Bursaries/ Recognition/ Gifts

Plan E:  One Year Reunion

 

Next Dry Grad Meeting:   Tuesday April 28th @ 7pm (Zoom meeting).

Here is a Zoom meeting link for Grad 2020/Dry Grad and feedback  from Mr. Westhaver:
