11th grade Families Please Support Graduation!

Dear Students and Families of the class of 2016,

Graduation is just one month away! We have a tradition of junior class families preparing the reception for the senior class grad ceremony. This email is asking directly for volunteers to support planning the reception. (email info@greatriverschool.org to volunteer!)

Our ceremony takes place:
  • June 9th at 6:30pm at Buetow Auditorium, 300 Hamline Ave, St. Paul, MN 55104.
  • The reception will follow in the same location. 
Junior class families are traditionally responsible for supplying:
  • cake and beverage for the occasion 
  • decorating tables 



This allows faculty to focus on the ceremony and senior families to attend with ease.

We are seeking volunteers to support the reception both beforehand (collect donations, order cake, secure decorations, punch supplies etc.), during (prepare food/drink, serve), and afterwards (clean up). There are just over 40 graduates so we want to be prepared for around 400 guests this year.

If you are willing to help out, please email info@greatriverschool.org

We have an event planner from our community who will support volunteers in planning!

Last, it has been a tradition for Junior families to donate as able to support the cost of the reception - usually between $10 and $20, only as you are able. Checks can be made out to GRS, attn "graduation" and sent in this week to Andria Sibert. Thank you for your generosity.

Thank you again for your kindness toward the seniors this year. You won’t believe how quickly it will be your turn to stand in that spot!

All the best,

Sam O'Brien
