Just a reminder there is a Grad Parent Information Meeting, happening on Tuesday April 9th via Teams (https://tinyurl.com/yftrjb8w).

Please note this is an online only meeting, not in person. Thank you.

Hello Stelly's Grads of 2026! Your final opportunity to fundraise to reduce the cost of your Prom tickets is here. Fundraise by selling hanging baskets and bedding plants. Each item sold gets you $5 off of your prom ticket. Either grab a form in the office or send the link to your local family, friends, and businesses. 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? The Magic Wand Project is a non-profit organization that offers an eco-friendly and inexpensive alternative to grad outfits for boys and girls. They rent out grad wear for a small cleaning fee. Details can be found at www.themagicwandproject.ca.

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).
