🎓 Calling All Grade 11 Parents! 🎓 We’re gearing up for this year’s Dry After Grad, and we’d love your help! Volunteering this year is a fantastic way to see how the event comes together, meet other parents, and get a feel for what’s involved—especially as your student will be part of next year’s graduating class. 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. Join us this year and be one step ahead for next year’s big night! 👉 Reach out to sign up or learn more—we’d love to have you on board! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4EA5A922A7FAC07-52091808-stellys#/
