Volunteers – we want to thank everyone who has signed up to be volunteers for the grad events here at REC. We look forward to working with you to make these events a success.
Donations – We are seeking donations of items or gift cards for the raffle prizes that are won during the safe grad. Items will be placed together to make prize baskets, we are looking for items big or small! We will also gladly accept any monetary donations towards the purchase of prizes for the baskets. Please make cheques payable to River East Collegiate, with the student's name included. Any donations should be dropped off in the office at River East Collegiate. There is a donation letter attached to this email, should you know of any businesses willing to donate prizes. The raffle prizes are a HUGE highlight during the evening for our students. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this special event!
Fundraiser – reminder the fundraising forms and money will be due to the office no later than April 10th. Any money raised, will go towards a students’ grad ticket(s) they wish to purchase. If a student raises money above and beyond, that money will go towards the safe grad event in general.
Assembly – there was an assembly in February for all students wishing to attend the dinner, safe grad, and grad breakfast events. Attached is the ppt with the information that was shared.

It was great to see so many parents and to have so many volunteers already signed up. We are still in need of Chairs for each committee, as well as members. This event couldn’t happen without all of you!
