Grad is coming up. Some SD43 high schools still need party prizes

Do you have gift cards or prizes to donate to Tri-City high schools for their after grad events?

The countdown is on for the end of the school year.

And, for thousands of graduating students in School District 43 (SD43), the gowns and tuxedos are out to celebrate at the dinner/dances this month — some of which took place this past weekend.

The Tri-City News reached out to SD43 principals last month to find out about their 2024 festivities, commencements and after grad parties.

For a few, donations are still sought by the parent organizing committees.

We’ve published their email addresses below for possible corporate sponsorship and community assistance.
