Regarding Cap & Gowns

• Students must have a cap/gown to walk during graduation
• Jostens is the only source (ie no, you cannot buy it off Amazon, but yes, you can wear the hand-me-down from a GHS student)
• Students should talk to Jostens if they want to borrow.  Jostens makes a list for us and also talks the student through the options, because they might want to buy just a cap so they can decorate it or a tassel as a keepsake.
• When a student borrowed cap/gowns, we hold the diploma until they return the cap/gown.  On the stage, it looks no different from what other students are handed, but the paper inside is a note to tell them to return the cap/gown for their diploma.

Subject: Let’s Make Safe & Sober Grad Night Happen for the Class of 2026! 

Dear Senior Parents,

We need your help to make Safe & Sober Grad Night (SSGN) possible for our Class of 2026 graduates. Right now, we’re only at 28% of our fundraising goal—and we can’t make this night a reality without your support.

SSGN is a beloved tradition that gives our seniors a fun, once-in-a-lifetime way to celebrate graduation in a safe, substance-free environment. With over 600 seniors in this class, we know that if every family contributes in some way—big or small—we can get there together.

Here are the top ways you can help right now:

1. Attend & Share Our Fundraisers
These events are open to the community, so invite family, friends, and neighbors! The more people who attend, the closer we get to funding SSGN. Tickets for all events are at grandadssgn.com.

·         Oct 5 – Car, Truck & Bike Show (at GHS): Classic cars, food trucks, DJ, and raffles!

·         Oct 6 – Boots & BBQ (at Stampede): Dinner, dancing, and prizes. Kids are welcome!

·         Nov 7 – Chick-fil-A Halftime Field Goal: Try your luck and win a prize! More info coming soon.

·         Nov 13 – Sip & Shop at Del Valle Winery: Wine tasting and holiday shopping.

·         Now until March 2026 – Adam J. Clark Portraits: Capture your senior or family memories.

2. Donate Raffle Items, Auction Items, or Funds
Raffles and auctions fuel our fundraising. Do you have a business service, gift basket, vacation home, or event tickets you could contribute? To donate, please email granadassgn@gmail.com. Direct donations, including company matching, are an option as well.  Remember: Every dollar raised and every item donated goes directly to creating an unforgettable—and safe—graduation celebration for our kids.   

Thank you in advance for supporting the Class of 2026. Together, we can make this milestone event something our seniors will never forget! Follow us on Instagram for the lastest SSGN news and upcoming events.

With gratitude,
Class of 2026 SSGN Committee
