Hey Grads! Want to reduce the cost of your Dinner/Dance ticket? Consider fundraising by selling winter plants. Send your family, friends, and local businesses to the link found in the Google classroom to order plants. Have them put your name in the "Special Notes" field. $5 from each plant ordered will go to reduce *your* cost for the Dinner/Dance. All orders must be in by November 10th at midnight. Plants will be delivered on November 28th to be picked up from the Career Centre after school.
