The countdown begins! We have two final Grad Knight fundraising events that we need everyone to support. So I hope that you will bring your family and friends to the upcoming Dine Out events in April and May. Bus Sign ups for Grad Knight start on Friday during both lunches. Do you want to pull an all-nighter? We need more chaperones for Grad Knight! And the news you have been waiting for...Graduation ticket information is below.
As we get closer to Graduation, it is really important that you read these emails...7 weeks to go!

Grad Knight Chaperones Needed!
We are looking for 15 more volunteers to accompany our Seniors for their last 'Hurrah' and celebration of their accomplishments and graduation! If you can do this..we'd love to have you help! You can email me or Tira tira.villanueva@verizonbusiness.com with your name, email address preferred for communications and cell phone number.
Grad Knight is a PTA Sponsored event that provides our seniors with an 'all night celebration' to destinations 'unknown' in a safe, alcohol and drug free environment. To accomplish this, we need your help. We need a total of 34 of us to accompany our Graduates to ensure we help keep it fun, all inclusive and safe for everyone.It actually is fun to see the kids and their camaraderie as they celebrate with friend and we send them off into the 'real world'. All these years of carpools, practices, rehearsals, lessons, sickness and health..here is your 'last time' to 'volunteer'.
Here is what it entails:
AFTER GRADUATION, you will head to the Assigned Bus/Check in area in Hec Ed. Each bus will have 4 chaperones.
You will have responsibilities such as:
- Check in (ensure only those teens and all those teens are on your assigned bus)
- On the bus, you will ensure the ride is safe and answer any questions from the kids, if they arrive.
(we will provide you with 'cheat sheets' and reach numbers, etc)
At the Venue(s), 2-3 of you will immediately leave the bus and head to the venue for the assignments for specific 'stations'.
The others will help unload the kids and get them to the venue safely.
After each Venue, as we load the kids back on, you make sure all the SAME kids..and all of them, get back on your bus.
The hours: 30 mins after Graduation until about 5-5:30 am June 14th.
YES it's a long night..YES we feed you..YES you get tired and energized at the same time…and YES we need you!!
