GRAD FASHION SHOW
The Grad Fashion Show will be held on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. in the East Gym. Students who are interested will be invited to an information meeting in early January. Fashion Show tickets are on sale now at the grad tables in the main hallway. Tickets are also available in the General Office.

COOKIE DOUGH FUNDRAISER
Graduation is just around the corner and we are going to be doing a fundraiser in order for you to earn free Banquet tickets. Our frozen cookie dough is conveniently pre-formed and packaged in 3 lb. boxes and we have formed the dough into 36 LARGE frozen cookie pucks.

The way to earn free Grad tickets is easy. For every 11 boxes of cookies/muffins you sell, you will be given 1 free ticket to the Grad Banquet. This is a great way for you to keep your costs for the evening down. People love to support great organizations and they will support you, usually by buying more than one box! Ask your parent's to help you by taking a form to their offices and selling some to their co-workers! Have fun selling and remember to have your forms and money turned in to the office no later than Thursday, March 17th. You may accept cheques and they should be made out to Jasper Place High School. When you turn in your forms by the above date, then you can tell your customers to expect their cookies about 2 to 3 weeks later. Watch for signs as to when delivery day will be!

 

GRAD CLASS CLOTHING
Sweats, hoodies, etc. are on sale in February and March at the Grad tables in the hallway. Get your order and money in by Thursday, March 10.
