Last year, as part of the Caledonia Year- . book Committee, I:had a fundraising idea that spiralled into a. massive project. The goal was to raise money for the committee, and to create something fresh and new while doing so. A virtual DVD yearbook was suc- cessfully created, selling 100 copies, and raising $700. This year, as part of a project for our lead- ership class, led by Greer Kaiser and spon- sored by teacher Gary Peden, Leanne Whyte, Sarah Smaha and Shalane Pauls jumped on - board with myself to take on the task of rais- . ing $1,000 to donate to the Caledonia schol- arship fund. The DVD is a modern addition to the | " traditional yearbook, and it’s considerably . less expensive, selling for just $10 a copy. _ “Graduating is really expensive, so it’s nice to have a cheaper alternative”, nia student Tali Wilson. The DVD includes messages from stu- dents and teachers, footage from the Dry says Caledo- -Grad fashion show, the year end banquet, a 20 minute slideshow of: pictures taken throughout the year, small excerpts from the Caledonia musical and much more. - “The DVD.also contains a lot of footage from the prom,” points out graduating stu- dent Priscilla de Medciros, “It’s nice to have because prom doesn’t make it into the year-_ book.” The DVD.will contain footage of the . . grads promenading, important speeches and - a collection of pictures taken at the event. “It will be really neat to show my friends. in Switzerland,” now.” The DVDs are on sale now for pre- -order and will be completed before the year draws to an end. All proceeds go to a scholarship. fund which will be presented at the awards ceremony held at the REM Lee theatre on June 30th.
