Parents of the Graduating Class of 2010
As your son or daughter approaches their grade 12 year, it is time
to start thinking and planning for their graduation in June
2010. This is an exciting time for all of you and I invite you to
become an active part in the planning and executing of the After
(Dry) Grad for the class of 2010. My name is Brenda L’Arrivee
and I was the committee chairperson for this year’s 2009 After
Grad and I am looking to hand over the reigns to someone for
next year. Parents, you are in a unique situation for next year, as
our 2009 Committee Treasurer, Jaynette Ward has another son
graduating in 2010 so you will have the experience and knowledge
to assist you with next year’s event. Jaynette knows first hand
what worked, what didn’t work and will be a valuable asset to your
committee next year but currently has a full plate with the
treasurer duties so she needs someone to step up and volunteer
to chair this committee. It is a rewarding experience that I can
guarantee you will never forget. Please be a part of this exciting
Kylee Larssen, Grand Prize Winner of the 1995 Dodge Neon! event and know first hand what is going on in your child’s final
year of high school. If you are interested in chairing the
committee or helping out with November Craft Fair, decorating, fundraising, prizes etc., please email me at
blarrivee@sd43.bc.ca A meeting will be called in the last few weeks of September to organize the sub-committees
required for this huge event so please watch for the notification at the beginning of September 2009. Have a
wonderful summer and the best of luck to everyone’s child for a successful Grade 12 school year at Terry Fox
Secondary!
Huge Congratulations to all of our After Grad prize winners this year!
