The Dauphin Safe Grad planning committee want the graduating class at DRCSS to know they’re working hard to make sure students still have an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishment.
One of the ideas on the table is postponing Safe Grad until it’s safer to host such a large group of people. There are approximately 150 graduates, with 900-1000 people expected at the banquet.
As for a timeline, Safe Grad President Roslyn Amendt tells CKDM the big celebration could happen near the end of August, but possibly even later than that.
She says many grads have already purchased their suits and dresses, and are looking forward to this opportunity to celebrate and wish each other well as they move on to the next stage of life.
“I think the kids have been really sad, and very worried what it’s going to look like and whether they’re going to have something. As parents, we’re trying to send the message that we still want them to have something, we’re trying to give them hope and keep their spirits up at this time.”
The Safe Grad 50/50 fundraiser is still running until April 12th. Roslyn explains it was set up before the quarantine, and is encouraging the community to participate because the committee still need funds to plan something different for this year’s grads.
