Graduation

Hello parents!

My name is Duane Piper and I am the admin at Chinook that looks after graduation.  I wanted to reach out with a few updates and information items. 

1. Dates
   1. Grad Gala will be held the evening of May 10^th.  It is always held the Friday of the Mothers’ Day Weekend.  Exact times will be confirmed closer to, but plan for that evening.  It will be held at the University of Lethbridge.  It is a special evening where all grade 12s can gather and celebrate 12 years of education.  This is open to all grade 12s, even those who are not eligible for graduation. 
   2. Convocation will be held the afternoon of June 26^th and it will be held in our gymnasium.  This event is only open to students who have met all requirements for a high school diploma. 
   3. Exact times, ticketing information and costs will be released in the new year, I just wanted to get the dates out now so people can start to make plans.
       
2. Grad hoodies are now up for sale!  We have a new vendor this year, and it is a pretty slick process!  With the new online store, we are able to finally offer options for customization.  There are different colours, and the opportunity for students to have their name embroidered on the sleeve.  Sales will only be open for 2 weeks, after which, production can begin.  Follow the link below to order the hoodie today!

3. Grad Photos all go through Lifetouch Photography.  I’ve attached a poster which has links and information.  Dates for appointments start at the end of this month, so book them soon to ensure you get a spot. Grad Poster 2024.pdf 

If you have any questions about grad, I’m your person!  Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to support you or your kiddo through this important time!

Warmly,
