The graduating class of Drumheller Valley Secondary School (DVSS) is asking for help from residents to make their graduation march the most memorable it can be.
The grad committee is asking residents to donate any cool white Christmas lights, which will be then used to light up the Drumheller Memorial Arena during their graduation march on May 24.
“For our grand march, we have to decorate the whole arena by ourselves. Last year, there were complaints that it was too dark. It was suggested we add Christmas lights to brighten things up,” said Alana Kakuk, a member of the grad decorating committee.
The committee is specifically looking for cool white lights to match their grad colours, which are white, silver, and black.
For the committee, any donations will go a long way to help make the evening bright and save them some money.
“We were thinking it could save us a whole bunch of money. We can give the lights back to people if they want,” said Kakuk.
The grad committee has been hard at work preparing for graduation this year. So far, they have chosen their grad song and motto.
“We chose the song Hall of Fame by the Script, which will sort of be our grad theme. We also chose the motto for this year, ‘the world awaits,’” said Kakuk.
Those interested are encouraged to contact Kakuk at 403-823-5544 or drop of their lights at the DVSS main office.
