GRAD 2026

Calling All 2026 Grad Parents - Bottle Drive Coordinator(s) Needed!

The legendary Stelly’s Bottle Drive is a cornerstone of Dry Grad fundraising and the Central Saanich community, generating over 40% of the funds that make a safe and fun event possible for grads. Saturday, June 28th from 9:00am to 12:00pm is the first drive for the Class of 2026. Outgoing organizers will be on-site to train new volunteers and hand over the keys, literally and figuratively!

  • One or more volunteers are needed to organize the 2025-26 drives moving forward (held every fourth Saturday).
  • Volunteers to assist at this month’s and upcoming drive(s).

Contact Kim or Mike Cook at kimmik@telus.net or text/call at 403.880.7665. 

Let’s keep this amazing tradition going strong for next year’s grads!

 

If you are a parent of a current grade 11 who will have a graduating student next year, please consider volunteering with the Parent After Grad Committee on June 26th. This is a great opportunity to see how the evening flows and what activities you may want to offer your grad class. The After Grad event is a fun drug & alcohol-free evening that happens after the school dinner/dance, giving students the opportunity to be with their grad class one last time. If you are interested in being a part of or forming next years’ Parent Committee, please email stellysdrygrad@gmail.com.
