Cost & RSVP
The cost per student is $50.00. Thanks to the generosity of the Parent Council, this event has been subsidized, allowing us to offer this reduced price for each student. We are encouraging every Grade 9 student to attend, and if you require financial support in order for your child to participate, please email the Farewell Committee, and we will ensure that your student can attend.
To make payment (which confirms your child's attendance), please send e-transfer to feograde9farewell@gmail.com with your child's first and last name in the message box. OR, bring cash in an envelope to school, with your child's first and last name, and homeroom on the envelope. Cash payments can be dropped off in the office. Once you submit your payment, your student will be added to the list and will only need to check in with a volunteer at the park upon arrival.
Behavior Expectations
We ask that you please take a moment to talk to your child about the importance of behaving appropriately and respectfully during the event. This is a special evening for them to celebrate their accomplishments, and we expect them to represent themselves, their school, and their families with pride. Additionally, please remind your child to be respectful to parent volunteers and teachers who are generously giving up their evening to make this event possible.
