Student Grad Committee Meeting
Our next grad committee meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 14th at lunch in room 221.
We will discuss prom decor, DJ and other things you would like to see at your prom.
Also, if you would like to do another grad event (end of April beginning of May) we would be happy to help you shape that up.
See you next week!

Reminder that these are due by to ksimonson@vsb.bc.ca by Friday, May 1st.
Your citation will be read by the MC's (Mr. Egilsson and Mr. Nakada) as you cross the stage.
It should be 3-4 sentences (65 words) and include:
- feelings about graduating/your future
- gratitude to family, teachers, anyone who has really supported you
- what you'll miss about Britannia
- shout outs to friends
Write it in third person present tense, which looks like this:
Joann Liu is headed to UBC in the fall and is looking forward to pursuing a career in Theatre and English. She would like to express her sincere gratitude to Mr. Soriano, Ms. Watts, and her family. She is so proud of her friends and graduating class and will miss everyone at McNair.
