Dear Grade 8 Parents,

Here at school, the grade 8s are taking care of:
·          tickets, speeches, slideshow, performances, decorations, and programs.
The Grade 7s will:
·         Hand out programs, serve refreshments and treats, and help clean up.
The parent committee will be in charge of:
·         Getting snacks and refreshments for after the Farewell.
·         Planning the after party for the grade 8s.
·         (Optional: Last year the parents also catered a lunch for all the 7/8s the day after Farewell at our U of R sports day. We are so spoiled! J)
Joanne Eberle and Nannette Choboter have kindly stepped forward to head the Parent Planning and are looking for volunteers to develop committees for the Aftergrad.  They will be hosting a parent Farewell Planning Committee meeting on Thursday, May 7that 7:00pm in our school Library.  
I am including their emails, since they will be taking the reins on the Parent end:
J Hope you can make it to the meeting!
