Dry Grad
Dry Grad Thank You
A huge shout out to Debbie Jarvie, Lacey Donaldson, the 78 parent volunteers, the City of Langford and all of the local businesses who made Dry Grad a success on Saturday! There were activities on the back field, in the gym, upstairs, and in the theatre, a prize wheel that did not stop spinning all day (every student received at least one prize), and tons of great food and treats to eat. Over 200 students attended, and they were all happy, full, and exhausted by the end 🙂
