The Grad Committee would also like to introduce you to two initiatives that might be of interest to you:

Tip Top Promotion:  Tip Top is running a promotion on various suits and accessories, and Nelson will benefit if any purchases are made at Tip Top Tailors over the next couple of months.  Grads/families just need to show a student ID as well as present the specific Nelson school code.  This code is a picture of a barcode: Click Here

Centrepiece Jar Drive:  The Nelson Grad Committee is running a jar drive from the 1st to the 11th of April to help build the centerpieces used at prom.  If you have any mason jars or small vases at home please bring/send them in, clean and empty, to the library where we will have a box to collect them!

Thank you in advance for your support.  Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Clark at clarkst@hdsb.ca.
