Thank you to our 2011 Graduation Service Sponsors
You may be wondering how our graduation service sponsors are handling the volume – and we are happy to report that they have all been amazing!
Within Saskatoon, all Grade 12 Princess Graduates also have access to donated graduation services, including:
- make-up, provided by Spa Academy
- hair styling, provided by Marca College
- photography by Shannon Brunner
- limousine services by Provincial Car Service
- corsages by Creative Compliments
Last year we had 42 graduates who qualified for these services, and this year we already have 75! Thank you so much to all of our grad service sponsors for accommodating this amazing growth.
Can you help?
The Princess Shop is currently in need of a few things for this graduation season – and moving forward!
Plus-size gowns
Many Princess Graduates fall in the dress size 18-24 range, and we are in short supply of dresses in this size.
Shoes
We finally have the space to expand our shoe inventory – and we could certainly use some more donations! Formal shoes that are less than five years old and only gently used are welcome donations!
Seamstress
The Princess Shop is currently looking for a seamstress or tailor to do some minor mending and alterations as a sponsor of the dress program.
Please call 222.3311 if you can help with any of the above.
Much love from The Princess Shop
Calling all Fairy Godmothers!
UPDATE (Jun 2, 2011): There are still a few spots left for Fairy Godmothers! Call 222.3311 for more info.
We are pleased to announce the opening of the Fairy Godmother Program for 2011-2012!
Applications are now being accepted for the 2011/2012 phase of the Fairy Godmother Program. Please email rayne@theprincessshop.ca for additional information about the program, as well as the application form.
Fairy Godmother applications are due on Fri May 20 at 5pm. Applications can be emailed to rayne@theprincessshop.ca.
What is the Fairy Godmother Program?
The Fairy Godmother Program connects successful and influential women from our community with Princess Graduates. The relationships formed will give the Fairy Godmother the opportunity to provide answers to the Princess Graduate’s questions, share life lessons and resources, and offer friendship. The program’s mission is to provide the Princesses with the needed self-awareness, self-confidence, motivation, and life skills to accomplish their goals. As such, the Fairy Godmother plays a special role in bringing these ambitions to reality.
Who would make a great Fairy Godmother?
There is no particular skill set that we are looking for in an Fairy Godmother. A Fairy Godmother sees the value in mentorship and the impact it has had on her own life and is looking for a unique way to pay that forward.
A Fairy Godmother is:
- Established and successful in her career and personal life
- Open-minded
- Patient
- Flexible
- Has life lessons and experiences to share with a Princess Graduate
- Would like to learn from a Princess Graduate as well
A Fairy Godmother would like to make a special contribution to the life of a Princess Graduate by providing friendship and advice.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Rayne either by email or at 222.3311.
