Below is the description taken directly from the facebook group

As we approach another year, it is time to begin planning for the 2025 Composite High School grand march, prom, and safe grad. These events are of great significance and we look forward to your active participation in their planning and execution. The prom will take place on the evening of the graduation ceremony, following the grand march. The first hour of the evening will allow graduates to share a dance with their parents before they are escorted away, allowing them to enjoy dinner and a dance to celebrate their achievements. There will be an onsite photographer free of charge capturing key moments of the evening, such as the crowning of the prom king and queen, and a photo booth will be offered.Safe Grad (date to be determined, is a supervised event designed to provide a secure environment for graduates and their guests to celebrate together. This event, often referred to as "Wet Grad," has been a cherished tradition for approximately 50 years and has evolved significantly over the years. As is customary, some parents on our organizing board will be transitioning as their children graduate. We are actively seeking new board members and your involvement is crucial to the success of these important events. If you or someone you know is interested in joining the board, please reach out to one of our moderators. Thank you for your support as we work together to create a memorable experience for our graduates!

Graduation Portraits

Grads can book their portrait sessions as early as November 1, 2025!

After this date, booking will commence on February 3rd, 2026. These bookings will be for sessions that will take place from February 3 - April 25, 2026.

We strongly encourage all students to have their photo taken, regardless of whether they select any packages, as this is the only way to secure a spot in the GRADUATES section of your yearbook! There is no cost for this service; however, you need to schedule your appointment between 9 AM and 3 PM. Please note that only one photo will be taken, and it is strictly for use in your yearbook. This photo cannot be utilized for any other ordering purposes.

They have multiple package options for you to choose from, starting as low as $35. 

Customizable backgrounds with your cap and gown portraits. 

No need to bring anything with you for your photo, they will have gown, cap etc. there for you. Recommended to wear white under the gown. If you need a tie, they will also have something there for you for that. 

For any further questions about your grad portraits please call 780.532.779 Watson's Foto Source

Baby photos for Grad slideshow

We ask that you send us your baby or childhood photo as soon as possible. To ensure that Grad runs seamlessly, it's important to submit this photo sooner rather than later. Last-minute additions can lead to human errors, such as spelling mistakes, which we want to avoid during the presentation of these photos. We appreciate your diligence!

This is from the Grad Google Classroom:

"Please submit your baby photo here*! Remember, it can be any age but you must pick your favourite!

In a private comment, you can indicate the name you prefer I use for the grad slideshow. I’ll record this info in a separate sheet for you to check spelling. :)

Once you receive my "thank you", that is your confirmation that your photo has been received and saved."

*here, this means directly to the Grad Google Classroom. This must be done by students.
