Orders are due on April 17th and plants will arrive May 5th. https://stellyssecondary.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home

Grads, are you looking for a dress or tux for graduation?

AFTER GRAD PARENT COMMITTEE

• Tip Top Tailors Fundraiser!  Parents, if you haven't already suited up your grad, Tip Top Tailors has a fundraising event for us.  For every suit purchased through them, they will donate $25 to the Stelly's After Grad Event.  You will need to show them a barcode connecting you to this fundraiser (please check your inbox and the Facebook page to download the attachment for the barcode). They also have a "Future-Ready Contest" in which the winner receives $10,000.

Think of it as a behind-the-scenes preview that will make next year even smoother and more enjoyable for everyone.  Whether you can lend a hand with setup, activities, or supervision, every bit of support makes a difference in creating a safe and memorable celebration for our grads.
