Dear Parents,
The Grade 8 Farewell is a celebration of the end
of one phase in a student’s education and the beginning of a new one.
This celebration can only take place if school and community are willing to
work together. This year the Grade 8 Farewell is scheduled for
Wednesday, June 17th from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Teachers,
parents, and administration have already begun preparations. We are now
asking for your assistance.
A reception will follow the formal part of the
celebration. We need the Grade 7 students and parents to help with the
organization of the reception. Grade 7 parents are asked to look after
the dainties (please send nut free), fruit trays/ vegetable trays to be
collected and served at the reception. For the reception to be a success, we
need approximately three to four parents to oversee the preparations.
Grade 7 Parents- It is important to note here that next year it will be your
child graduating from Jack MacKenzie School. You and your child will then
sit back and enjoy the celebrations without a concern as the Grade 7 students
and parents, at that time, will be volunteering to ensure that you have a
memorable evening. Please help out in any way you can. We need to
have one or two parents volunteer to be the point of contact for the Grade 7
parents and to organize the evening reception. The volunteer(s) will need
to be at the school the day of the Farewell, setting up the reception, and
continuing to oversee the reception. Please return completed forms
by May 29th, 2015 to your child’s homeroom teacher.
* Please send dainties to the school the morning
of Wednesday, June 17th by 9:00 a.m.
Sincerely,
K. Reoch, K. DuMont, K. Yeske and A. Scott
