The Grad Committee of 2013 is selling Purdy’s Chocolates during the month of October.  All money raised will go to reducing the costs students pay for Grad Banquet tickets.  Members of the Grad Committee or any grade 12 student who wishes to be involved can help raise funds for this year’s Grad event.

As an extra incentive, for every $800.00 (including GST) of chocolates sold, the student will receive a free ticket to the Grad Banquet.  All orders must be placed on-line by October 30, 2012.  The chocolate orders will arrive by December 1, 2012 in sufficient time for Christmas delivery to the customers.

Below is a handy guide to registering on the Purdy's website in order to input and track your orders. You must follow this procedure to sign up. Once you've completed your signup, you will see your own personal invite code that has been created that you can pass on to people buying chocolates from you if they want to make their own orders online! Otherwise, you can input the orders yourself by logging into your account.
