After Grad 2008
KitsPAC will once again be facilitating the grade 12 students planning their
Dry After Grad.
Other schools have them too (you might have heard of them). But, not
surprisingly, Kits After Grad has a twist. Ours is organized by our students
not parents(we only help). Where other PACs often produce After Grads at
significant expense, Kits chooses to produce an After Grad party that is cost
neutral.
We don't go to great expense on venue or activities. Our aim is to help the
kids produce an event that is dry, inclusive, and fun. What KitsPAC does is
arrange the insurance, security, and transportation to the off campus venue
and then home by taxi for groups of up to 4 grads per taxi. We leave the
planning of the event itself to the kids and we facilitate their planning by
signing the contracts and working out the costs of the activities.
Together, Kits administrators, grads and parents can create an opportunity
for all grads to share in the fun of a graduation event that will be safe,
inclusive, fun, and a night of great memories.
In the weeks ahead the Kits After Grad Committee will be letting parents of
grads know how the planning is going. We hope you will continue to watch this
space and keep up to date on the planning as it progresses.
Mark the date on your calendars: Wednesday 11 June!

Dear CPF Member
As part of its communications plan in reaction to the Government of New
Brunswick's decision to delay its introduction of French Immersion
and Core French Programs until Grade 5, the National Board of Canadian
Parents for French deems it critical to bring this matter to the attention of
Federal members of Parliament and Senators.
The following letter has also been posted on
the website for your information.

Any positive action as an individual, or as a group, will serve to bring this
matter to the attention of the Government of Canada as a significant funder
