GRADE 8 FAREWELL
May 2011
Dear Grade 8 Students and Families:
This letter is written to inform you of the final details regarding the Grade 8 Farewell. At the present time, grade 8 farewell will be going ahead the same as usual with the hopes that contract negotiations will taken care of by then.
FAREWELL (Monday, June 27th @ 7:00 p.m.)
Dress - We would like to keep dress fairly casual so that the students can wear the clothes again. .
Number of Guests - Each student is allowed to invite eight-ten adult guests (usually parents/guardians, grandparents and ect.). Invitations will be given to the students this week. In some circumstances it may be necessary for more guests to attend the program. We would like to be sensitive to this; however, we need to ensure that we have adequate space to hold the program and maintain a relaxed atmosphere. If there are special circumstances please indicate them on the attached information sheet or contact the student’s homeroom teacher. Family, friends, etc. are invited to a reenactment of the Farewell Ceremony, which will take place on Tuesday, June 28th, at 10:50 a.m.
Class Photograph – A class photograph will be taken by Carman Mose Photography this year. This is the first time we have used Carman; we chose to do so because she gives a much better deal compared to who we used in the past. Below is a letter from Carmen:
Session fee of $20.00 per graduate includes all post-processing time of photos, as well as a DVD disc of all your edited and retouched photos for printing at your leisure. My hope would be to meet at an outdoor location. This provides the opportunity for a fun and creative atmosphere. For a class of around 30 students we would need one hour to ensure a group photo is included and opportunity for each graduate to get in front of the camera! In case of inclement weather, an indoor location would be arranged. Please check out my website www.carmansphotography.caCarman Mose
In order to ensure that students have plenty of time to get their pictures prior to the ceremony and still have time to get something to eat, pictures will begin at 4 pm and will run until 5pm. Students should sign up in groups of 5 and the sign-up sheet will be posted in the classroom and on the class blog.
Farewell Program – The program at the school will begin at 7:00 p.m. sharp on Monday, June 23rd. Guests should arrive early to find their seats and take any pictures. The ceremony will likely end at approximately 8:00-:30 p.m. After the ceremony, there will be a dessert/tea put on by the Mr. Johnston’s grade six/seven class in the library. The dessert/tea will be a place where family and friends can meet and talk for a while. At about 9:00 p.m., the service will be over. Shortly, there will be a notice sent out by the after-farewell planning committee outlining the after farewell party.
Video Yearbook – A personal copy of the video yearbook (in DVD form with cover) will be available for all members of the Class of 2010/11. Students will be making the video yearbook using OneTrueMedia. A copy of the video will also be posted on our class blog and each student’s blog
Farewell Slideshow – a copy of the slideshow will also be posted on student’s blogs.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at your earliest convenience at cattonc@spsd.sk.ca . Thank you in advance for your support of this endeavor
