Dear Grads of 2025 and Parents/Guardians,

We are off to a great start this school year and the time has come for the Grade 12 Parent Committee to organize the Dry After Grad (DAG) event taking place in June 2025.

For those who do not know, the DAG is an all-night, parent supervised, celebration for graduating students only. The event includes entertainment, music, food, activities, games, etc. held at McMath school in the Rotunda and various wings of the school. 

This year, the Grad Dinner & Dance will be held on Thursday, June 26, 2025, followed by the DAG from 11:00 pm until early Friday morning. DAG is a great event for the grads which is organized by the Grads’ parents & caregivers. 

Every year at McMath, a newly formed Grade 12 Parent DAG Committee organizes and runs the event with the help of Grade 10 and 11 parent volunteers who act as “shadows” to learn the ropes for the following year. 

To determine those who wish to be a part of the DAG 2025 Committee, it is important to have as many parents & caregivers attend the initial meeting. An event of this size requires a large group of Grade 12 parents to organize it and to chair each of the following role/committees. 

- Chair/Co-Chair

- Treasurer

- Secretary

Committee Leaders:

1. Bag Drop-off               2. Decorations

3. Entertainment           4. Food

5. Fundraising                  6. Donations

7. Red Carpet                   8. Security

9. Takedown                      10. Transportation

If any parent or parents are interested in being the Chair or assume any of the other roles listed above, please contact Winson Leung (ex-DAG 2024 Treasurer & current PAC Treasurer) at winsonsk@yahoo.com.  

We look forward to having the Dry Grad 2025 Committee formed as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration.

Warmest regards,

 Jeff Johnstone, Principal

R.A McMath Secondary School
