Grad 2022

Hello Byng families!

The Byng Parent Grad Committee has been diligently working to help support the celebrations of our well deserved Class of 2022. Thank-you to everyone who supported our fundraising initiatives. These celebrations include the Grad Dinner & Dance, Grad Prom, and the Commencement (Graduation) Ceremony. It is very important to know that some activities are organized by the school and some, like Prom, are organized entirely by students and parents. Please read below for very important information about upcoming events.

First, if you are parent of a grade 12 student please sign up ASAP to our email distribution list. This will ensure you receive the most up to date information from the Grad Committee. Sign up here.

GRAD Prom

Grad Prom is organized by parents and student and will be held on Sunday June 26th. In order to proceed with the event we need to sell a minimum of 175 tickets before May 20th. Please see attached brochure for more information.

PROM TICKETS

To buy a Prom ticket, simply send an e transfer of $95.00 to lordbynggrad2022@gmail.com.

The funds will automatically be deposited into a Lord Byng PAC bank account and an email confirmation will be sent to us confirming the purchase. It is important that BOTH the STUDENT NAME and their FAVOURITE SONG be noted in the message section of the e transfer. If you forget, please email the info to lordbynggrad2022@gmail.com.

If your grade 12 student wants to bring a plus 1 then they need to send $190 or buy a second ticket later if they are not sure now. We need to sell a minimum of 175 tickets by May 20th to ensure the event is a go. All grade 12 students should be following @byng_grad_committee_2022. This is for students only. Lots of info is available on this instagram account. It is updated often.

The Prom will include a reception style dinner at the Marriott Pinnacle Hotel, a mocktail slushi bar, a retro candy bar, DJ Jordan Zwicker https://www.jzentertainment.ca/, photo booths, prizes, amazing decorations and a lot of fun. The theme for both the Dinner Dance and Prom is Starry Night. A commemorative Prom ticket has been designed by a grad student. The tickets will be available for pick up in early June. An email with the specific date and time will be sent to the purchasers of the tickets towards the end of May.

Although this is a student only event, there will be 1 parent (grade 11 or younger) chaperone for every 20 students, hotel security, coat check and no in and out privileges as we want this event to not only be a lot of fun for the kids, but we also want them to be safe.

The Prom is not sponsored by the school but is organized by the students and parents.

Any families who are facing financial hardship will be able to get complimentary tickets for all these events. We do not want any financial barriers to prohibit a student or their parents from attending this memorable occasion. Anyone in this situation simply needs to reach out to their school counsellor and tell them how many tickets they require.
