Grade 8 Graduation
Dear Grad Parents and Guardians:
This letter is to update you on the plans for this special day and to request your financial support for the planned events.
Graduation day is Monday, June 27, 2011. There are two separate events planned for this day:
· The graduation ceremony will take place at Parkdale Collegiate Institute (209 Jameson Avenue) from 4:30 – 6:30 pm. In addition to watching the grads receive their diplomas, this event will feature a photo montage of the students at various events throughout the year. Parents, siblings and other family members are invited to attend this event. Following the ceremony, a group photo of the grad class will be taken. Each grad will be provided with a copy of the group photo free of charge.
· Following the ceremony, the grads are invited to a reception at the Lula Lounge (1585 Dundas Street West) from 7:00 – 10:00pm. The reception includes a dinner and dancing. This event is for the grads only, but will be supervised by Fern staff.
The Fern Parent Council has generously contributed some financial assistance for this event. However, to off-set the costs of the reception, we are requesting a $30 contribution for each grad.
In addition, at the Lula Lounge, we will have a professional photographer on hand, ready to snap photos of the grads as they arrive and stroll down the “red carpet” entryway. If you would like to have a red carpet photo of your grad, please indicate this on the return portion of the form below. The cost for a 5 X 7” colour photo is $5.00.
We are committed to ensuring that school events are accessible to all students. If you require a subsidy to allow your child to attend the reception, please see Vera Ciric in the main office.
Please return this form below and with the required fee to Vera Ciric by Friday, May 6, 2011.
Yours truly,
The Grade Eight Graduation Committee
