JRPS
has a tradition where the Grade 7 parents organize the celebration for the
current year’s graduating Grade 8 students. This allows the Grade 8 parents to
focus on their own child that day. So far just one Grade 7 parent has agreed to
take part. Last year a dozen Grade 7 parents helped out with grad in one way or
another to make graduation a special night.
We
need parents to form a committee to organize the decorations and food for the
graduation based on a theme chosen by the students, as well as to help students
with fundraising efforts. This committee meets occasionally to plan the event,
at a time convenient to all parents on the committee, such as in the evening.
Help
is also needed for the afternoon and evening of the actual graduation to
decorate and take care of the food. This year's graduation takes place on
Monday, June 15.
Next
year you will appreciate having other parents take on these tasks so that you
can fully enjoy on your own child’s graduation, if the tradition is able to
continue.
Please
contact our main office at james.robinson.ps@yrdsb.ca
or 905-294-3484 with any questions or to agree to help out either on the
committee, with fundraising, or on the day of graduation.
Thank
you!
