Other events throughout the day included the vol-unteer organized banquet, the grand march and evening cer-emonies, and in addition, the nights safe grad.We had a phenomenal committee pulling together, it was a lot of hard work from a lot of different people that really madeitthesuccessthatitwas,saidDebBetterton,parent volunteer and organizer of the banquet.Theextensiveplanningandpreparationfortheoptional banquetprovedtobesuccessfulwith549guestsinatten-dance, numbers signifcantly higher than the 422 of last year. Betterton estimates about 80 graduates attended the banquet, whereas the majority of students celebrated elsewhere. There isstillroomforimprovementintheconsequentyears,and perhapsmoregraduateswillchoosetocelebratetogether, which is the wish of many parent volunteers. Betterton saw no challenge in planning the banquet entirely by the hands of volunteers, but maintains the mindset that for banquets in the future, the more the merrier.The banquet committee would have loved the involvement of the school, and going forward, hopes that it could maybe happen next year, because it was so great and, everyone had a great time, she said.In order for more school involvement to become a reality, Betterton thinks that the initiative and change needs to come from the grads, not from one parent group.All in all, it went by as a blur and without a hitch, it just seemedsoperfect,saidBettertonandlaughs,itwentby very fast, good thing I took a lot of pictures! Inregardstothenightssafegrad,whichtookplaceat StrathmoresFamilyCentre,parentvolunteerandorganizer Michelle Walker felt that the students were satisfed and that the night was well worth it.Our concern was to get everyone home safely with as little incidents as possible, which we achieved. We had great volun-teers and its really all about the volunteers, we couldnt have done it without them, said Walker.
