8th Grade Graduation Dinners at Lake Forest Club and Exmoor Club
Two local country clubs are offering celebration dinners for our Deer Path Graduates. These are open to all families, not just club members. Please see the attached invitations from Lake Forest Club and Exmoor Country Club. Both events are timed to work with the DPM graduation ceremony on Tuesday, May 29. We understand from previous years that many families take advantage of these events, but a large number choose to celebrate on their own -- it is totally up to you and how your graduate wants to celebrate this special occasion. Please reach out to the clubs directly with any questions. Thanks! APT 8th Grade Activities Committee |
