GNB Voc-Tech Community,

We're reaching out to you with an urgent request regarding the After Prom event on May 23rd. As you may know, this event is an important tradition for our students. However, in order to ensure the safety and success of this event, we are in need of volunteers and donations of food items and raffle prizes.

Volunteers Needed:
We are aiming to recruit 30 to 40 more volunteers to help with various aspects of the event. If you are able to volunteer your time, please sign up using the following link: https://www.cognitoforms.com/gnbvoctechhighschool/afterpromvolunteer2024. Without an adequate number of volunteers, we will be unable to run the After Prom event safely.

Donations Needed:

Thank you in advance for your support, consideration, and commitment to ensuring the safety and enjoyment of our students during this memorable event.

Reminder for those entering 11th grade, the nursing office requests a copy of your updated immunization record. Proof of meningococcal immunization is required for the start of the school year if you are 16 years old. For those turning 16 years old during the school year, please bring immunization records once updated. In the upcoming weeks, a letter will be mailed out to your parent/guardian to share the status of your current paperwork on file.

For any student who did not have the opportunity to pass in their proof of meningococcal vaccination record this school year, please provide the nursing office with an updated record in the fall. While this was a requirement for grade 11, this is reported to the Department of Public Health in the upcoming school year when you are in your senior year.

Summertime will soon be here! Remember some summer tips including using sunscreen, water safety & caution as well as remaining hydrated when exposed to the sun and heat. Have fun and be safe as you take the time to unwind and enjoy your well deserved time off from school. We look forward to hearing about all of your summer-fun activities in the fall.

Feel free to send in any updated medical documentation that the nursing staff will need to take care of you for the upcoming school year. We do come in intermittently throughout the summer so we will be able to review medical documents received prior to the start of our next school year. As always we are available to answer any questions that you may have, along with your parents and guardians.

Best of luck in your future, we wish you much success. We will miss you!!

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “The best way to predict your future is to create it.”. May you have much success in creating your next journey, enjoy and savor every moment!!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a month in which we recognize the challenges around mental health issues, work to erase stigma as well as support one another. Know that you are not alone as millions of Americans are affected by mental illness. Feel free to reach out to our nursing staff if you need to talk, we are here for you. Together we can make a difference and be there for one another.

If at anytime, you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the nursing staff:
