JUNIOR PARENTS: VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
FOR ORGANIZING GRADUATION!!

In the GRS community, it’s a tradition for the 11th year families to plan graduation for the senior class. In turn, that means next year, when your students graduate, you can rest assured knowing everything is being taken care of by the junior class families.

We are seeking junior parent volunteers for various tasks before, during and after the Graduation ceremony such as event coordinators, decorators, ushers and more. For event coordination, this would involve managing event details, ordering graduation materials, and day-of logistics.

To sign-up to Volunteer, please fill out the Graduation Sign-up Genius. Keep an eye out for an email with more information regarding volunteering.
