Can Am Athletic Scholarships and Can-Am Learning (SAT Prep) will be coming to Delta Secondary on Thursday, Nov. 15th to conduct a lunch hour presentation on SAT's as well as Athletic Scholarships to the United States.

If your son/daughter is interested in attending this information session, please email the Career Advisor, Kim Jew at [email protected] to register. The info session is an hour long therefore, they will be missing 20 minutes of their third block.
 
Grads are reminded to get their grad write-ups done! Email your write-up to [email protected]. Grad write-up length is 500 characters. You can also email your grad baby picture to the same email account. Grad baby photos can also be submitted to the school office (remember to put your name on them). We hope to have everything completed by Dec. 5th so don't delay!

Dry Grad is an event which provides students with a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment to celebrate their graduation.  It is a fully supervised fun event, sponsored by the parents, where the grads can party with their friends, be entertained and participate in a fun-filled, action-packed night of celebration.

Dry Grad takes place after the dinner dance on Friday June 14th, 2013.  It will occur at the Ladner Community Centre and run from midnight until 6:00 am June 15th.  Grads leave the dinner dance around midnight and return to Ladner for a quick clothing change before heading to the Dry Grad Event.  The grads must be in the door by a set time and they do not have in/out privileges.

HOW YOU CAN HELP?

As in prior years, we are requesting an up-front, one-time only cash family contribution of $100.00 to offset the cost and greatly decrease the amount of fundraising required. The contribution is not in lieu of volunteering. For anyone who is unable to contribute their time to this event – we will gladly accept more. For cheques of $100 and more received and dated on or before November 1st, your name will be entered in a draw to win 4 front row seats for the grad walk. 

Cheques are to be written to “DSS DRY GRAD” and either mailed to Delta Secondary School @ 4615- 51st Street, Delta, BC V4K 2V8 or dropped off in the box located in the school office.
