GRAD 2026
Have you booked your grad photos yet? There are lots of available time slots from October 11th to 16th and bookings can be made through Artona’s website (https://artona.com/bookings). There is also a QR code posted on the Grad board in the main foyer which also works to book your sitting. Please note that if you don’t plan on purchasing grad photos, the sitting fee will be waived - we just need all grads to have a photo in the yearbook, so book your time slot now!
Stelly’s Parent Dry Grad Committee needs a Treasurer and a number of other volunteers to make the magic happen for our Grads in 2026! If you can help in any way please contact Pamela at westinghousep@gmail.com and she can add you to our email list! You can also find us on Facebook: Stelly’s Secondary School Parents Dry After-Grad.
