HS students), a feature on the history of Earth Day, an opinion on what more

and we are encouraging all seniors to sign up and participate in this event!!
Get
On The Bus...We’re Cruising to Chicago! Parents of
the Class of 2016,
Plans are under way
for the annual Senior All-Night Party that immediately follows the graduation
ceremony. As in years past, we will spend our night at Navy Pier. While at Navy
Pier, we will have time to ride the ferris wheel, see an amazing hypnotist
show, and board a cruise ship for 2 hours to play games, eat, and dance the
night away, all-while sailing along the Chicago Skyline. Students will return to
the high school at 6:00 am.
We are able to
provide all this to our students for $75 for the entire evening!! This includes
meals, charter buses, hypnotist show, cruising, dancing, and a night they will
never forget!
Our committee has
many fundraisers already planned to cover the remaining cost. We have the
following dates scheduled so far, so please help us spread the word!
· Wednesday, March 16th - LakeHouse
give back night
· Tuesday, March 29th - Silver
Beach Pizza give back night
· Thursday, April 21st - Quarter
Auction at Cravings, 6-9pm. We are looking for people
to donate a prize, gift certificate, gift basket, etc. for the auction, as well
as people willing to gather a group of friends to fill up (“sponsor”) a table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! If interested, please contact
kellyarent@comcast.net
