Minutes from Meeting on June 2, 2021


  1. We will be holding the honoring ceremony at Manyhorses High school – at the front of the school and parking lot

  2. Date remains June 25, from 4-6 pm.

  3. Number of invitees per family is still undetermined for two reasons:

    1. Limited space and social distancing policy

    2. Plan needs to be submitted to EMRT for approval

    3. Estimating 6-10 per family

    4. Arrangement of venue: Each family will be designated a spot in the parking lot for putting up chairs, etc. to view the event (bring your own chairs). You will be located in front of the honoree. There will be 2-3 picture areas set up. You are to stay in your “zone” throughout the event and leave afterwards. (Picture not to scale)

5. Carrie is considering doing a feast for take-away once the event is done. We decided on turkey! Food will be given out as guests leave. You cannot eat at the school.


6. Grad sweaters are going to be paid for by Education – no fundraising is needed (at all). Nathan completed a gorgeous design for the students and Amy has hired two nation members to fulfill the sweater order.


7. We have eagle feathers for the honorees, and they are being beaded by Amy.


8. The grad caps have all been finished for those students who indicated they could not get their own beaded. All other grad caps have been given to parents for them to bead on their own.


9. Shelly has purchased frames and is designing and printing certificates. These are NOT diplomas, rather are certificates of participation in grade 12. Only the government can issue proper diplomas – these will be mailed out to successful graduates by the end of July/ beginning to mid August.


10. Manyhorses high school staff will be putting up decorations, helping with set up and take down as well as parking and crowd control. Parents are free to spend time with their family.

Lastly – We will be having a MANDATORY meeting on June 24th, at 7pm to hand out grad gowns, hats and to assign sitting areas. We will go through the ceremony basics at that time. It is very important you be there.
