GRAD 2020
Dry Grad 2020 - Stay in the Loop!
Next Meeting (ZOOM meeting) is TONIGHT (Apr 28) @ 7pm
Two weeks ago, 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
Here
is a Zoom meeting link for Grad 2020/Dry Grad and feedback
from Mr. Westhaver:

All grade 12 parents are welcome. This is a great way to stay connected and hear the latest status update for our grads. Looking forward to seeing you all virtually.
