Things are up and running for our graduating class of 2010. Monthly meetings are being held at school to keep all committees on track, as well as parent meetings that have already taken place for Prom, Safe Grad and Grad Tea. Themes that have been settled for this year include:

Grad Tea – Under the Sea

Prom – A Fairy Tale Ending

Safe Grad – Neon Party

Committee heads are looking for props and decorations for their events and anything you may have at home that you can lend is greatly appreciated.

The Grad Tea is looking for dinghies, star fish, large sea shells, large sails, and decorative fish.  The committee is also looking for rose bowls that anyone would like to donate. If you have any of these items for our use please contact Cheryl Troop at 252-2787 (home), 857-2939 (cell), or by e-mail ctroop@plpsd.mb.ca

The Prom is looking for medieval armor, swords, and castle decorations, while Safe Grad has a request out for large black lights. If you can help with supervision and security for the Prom please contact Kellee

Clifford-Bousquet at 857-6843 (ext. 11122).

The program for our Grad Ceremony has been planned and PCI alumnus, Chris Rennie, will be our guest speaker. Musical performances have been booked and valedictorian nominations begin shortly.

A lot of ideas have poured in to our souvenir department so that there will be an excellent selection of items that grads can buy to remember this great year. There is also a lot of excitement and anticipation towards this year’s Safe Grad as it will be the first in the PCU Centre, and it is sure to be a great time.

As Grade 12 students, we are no strangers to hard work and will continue to devote ourselves to making this Graduation one to remember. With your help, and the support of our teachers, this Grad can be not only successful, but also be the first step in letting go of your kids as we prepare for the real world.
