LETTER                                                          Important Grad 2021 Fundraising Information

                                       NSS Dry Grad is usually a continuation of celebrations after the Dinner Dance Event for the Grade 12 grad
                                       students. This year due to COVID-19 we will not be able to hold a traditional Dry Grad. The Dry Grad
                                       Experience Committee would still like to celebrate the students by having Centre Court (large space in the
                                       school) decorated and transformed into a space the Grads will not recognize. This experience will coincide
                                       with the school’s Grade 12 Commencement Ceremony. The date is to be finalized as the school awaits more
                                       information from the Provincial Health Office on allowable gatherings. It is very likely Commencement will
                                       look the same as June 2020. More information to come from the school in the next few months.

                                       Additionally we hope to:
                                         - Have a food truck on site (if permitted at that time by the Provincial Health Officer) so that students

• PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO HELP
                                         can take away a meal after they have crossed the Commencement stage
                                         - Have a gift bag for each grad
                                         - Carry on our tradition of presenting 3 grand prizes
MAKE THIS DAY SPECIAL FOR YOUR GRADS   To host this once in a lifetime event the cost runs around $10,000. While part of this cost was passed down
                                       from the 2020 graduating class, we still need to raise funds through the generous support of NSS families
