The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday June 26, 2002 - B5 QEP cookbook to raise funds for double cohort graduation and commemorate school's closing By Lindsey Craig S P E C IA L T O T H E B E A V E R Enter your favourite recipes into Queen Elizabeth Park (QEP) School's cookbook to help fund next year's gradu ation ceremony, while also contributing to a final piece o f school history. The special fundraiser, a school coun cil initiative, will help support the dread ed year when both G rade 12s and OACs finish high school, requiring twice the number o f gow ns and equipment, as would normally be needed at a com mencement. QEP principal Regan Heffeman said the double cohort means double the scholarships and double the cost o f print ing diplom as and invitations, to name only a few o f the financial changes. "W e'll be having two grads." he said. "Otherwise, w e'd have to say to kids, 'Okay, your mom can come but your dad can't.'" He said the approximate ceremony cost for one graduating class, including scholarships, rentals, etc., is $5,000, plac ing an estimated $10,000 price tag on next year's dual commencement. Funds generated from the cookbook, which is hoped to come out in the fall o f this year, will help support this extra cost. V ice-chair o f the school council, Cindy McCuaig, said those involved in promoting the cookbook are turning to the com munity for contributions. "We're looking for students, alumni, teachers, past teachers, anyone with an affiliation to the school." she said. McCuaig said the cookbook will like ly be available for $10, and "everything will go to pay for the grad." But those who enter their favourite foods to the cookbook will also become part of the school's history. "It's a commemorative project to help celebrate the school's 30-year history." she said. "It will be one of the last opportumties for members o f the com munity to celebrate the school." Heffeman also noted that those who supported the fundraiser "would be help ing kids walk across that stage next year." The school council is also looking for "quips, quotes or culinary kudos" to include in the book.
