Grade 6 Farewell Information

Hello Grade 6 Families,

On Thursday, June 25, we are planning to go ahead with the Grade 6 Farewell Ceremony virtually at 2:30. The Google Meet will include messages from the staff as well as video messages from interested students and photos of the students during the school year. Please let us know if you do NOT want your child's photo to be part of the Grade 6 Farewell virtual ceremony.

We will have a yearbook pickup that morning from 9-11 in front of the school. All students will be receiving a yearbook as a keepsake of their time at SVS. Students have had the opportunity to write personalized messages for the yearbook which will be included in their book.


We look forward to seeing you at the Google Meet on June 25!
