GENERAL INFORMATION
Students will be enjoying a formal dinner and dance on Saturday, May 30 from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at Meadow Gardens. Please do not arrive before 5:30 p.m. You will need to coordinate a ride to Meadow Gardens as vehicles cannot be left there overnight. Students may arrive in a limousine; however, they may NOT arrive on a “Party Bus” or a helicopter (requested by Meadow Gardens). After their dinner and dance, students attending Dry Grad will be bussed back to SRT (on a coach bus) for the remainder of the Dry Grad events. Students may not drive, take a limo, be driven by parents or friends back to SRT. There are also NO ‘in and out’ privileges at any point in the evening. Students or guests not attending SRT Dry Grad events will need to be picked up from Meadow Gardens. Guests who are not attending Dry Grad must arrange for a ride from Meadow Gardens; there will be no room on the bus back to SRT.
DONATIONS
We are still looking for prize donations for our dry grad. Any donations can be dropped off at the office at any time.
BAKING/CANDY DONATIONS
We are looking for donations of home baked goods (cupcakes, squares, brownies or cookies) that grads can easily pick up and go, no cake please. If you can help with any baking or have other ideas, please email, Dee at deenutland@hotmail.com. As well, a big hit at dry grad is always the candy table. We are looking for a variety chocolate and candies which can be dropped off to the office at any time from here on out. Baked goods can be dropped off the afternoon/evening of Friday, May 29 or early evening Saturday, May 30. Please remember to label anything that contains nuts as well as your container if you want it back.
CHANGE OF CLOTHES
As the students will be dressed in their gowns and tuxes for the dinner/dance, it is required that they drop off a change of clothes (don’t forget shoes) to the library on Friday, May 29 (bags will be kept in a secure location). This allows the students to change upon their return to SRT and be more comfortable for the remainder of the evening. Guests attending dry grad must also submit a change of clothes on these dates (bags will be subject to search for all in attendance). No liquids, food or valuables should be in bags. Parents may come into the school once the students have changed (as students are not permitted to leave the building), to pick up their son/daughter’s formal wear to ensure it is stored properly. We have very little space to hang dresses. If students require medication, please bag and label with your grad’s name and bring separately to the office on Friday, May 29. Administration will keep these secured in the office and easily accessible if needed by the student.
