$500 Gift for EVERY GRADE 12 - A $500 gift is being given to every grade 12 student in our District from a private benefactor. This is a legitimate message going out to all grade 12 students and will no doubt generate much excitement. However, STUDENTS need to apply to receive the money by completing a form by June 23, 2021. That is next WEDNESDAY. Only students may apply. Unfortunately, we will not be sharing the link or student numbers with parents. Students can find the link to apply on the Grad 2021 Google Classroom. You should have already received an email regarding this information from GESS. I’ve attached the same letter below. If you have questions, please follow the directions in the letter. I have no additional information. Applying is as easy as A,B,C!
Students need to:
Students need to:
- A) READ the letter with all of the information found on Google Classroom
- B) COMPLETE the form. Students will need their PEN number (found on report cards or students can log into MyEd), and the student pupil number (can be found by students on MyEd or any teacher can give a student this number).
- C) REMIND all of their friends to complete the form!

The link above will take you to a google drive with several folders. The folders are self explanatory but know that every graduate has both a black and white photo walking the Red Carpet and a colour portrait after they have received their diploma. Also we are inviting students to upload photos of themselves in their cap and gown or in their grad dress / suit if they wish. Only students may upload photos and they must be logged into their @learn email to access the drive and upload the photos to share. Please make the file name the student’s name. (ie: Jane_Smith.jpg or Jane_S.jpg). Lastly, note that all of these photos are shared publicly.

Book Drive
As a legacy project, Grad Council is collecting items for the new Hank Grenda Middle School Library. We are looking for gently used books (novels, graphic novels, comics), board games, puzzles (under 500 pieces), and Lego or K’Nex that are appropriate for ages 8-14. See the attached flyer. We are accepting donations until the end of the school year. Donations can be dropped off in the GESS library. As graduates transition towards their future goals, now is a good time to do some “sorting and donating.”

The long-awaited grad fashion show / variety show is done, edited, and posted on YouTube below. Enjoy the show. A BIG thank you to everyone involved in the the show. A special thanks to Scarlett who did the editing. Just a reminder that this was filmed in February when the masking rules allowed for no masks if students were in or with their cohort.
