ATTENTION SENIOR PARENTS!!!
In order to provide our graduating seniors with an all-night, alcohol-free and drug-free celebration party, Project Graduation, we need lots of parent participation to help raise the funds necessary to host such an event.  It will be held at Jillian’s at Waterside in Norfolk for the second year in a row.  Due to the size of the 2008 class, it has been determined that we need to raise at least $30,000.00 in order to cover the cost of the rental of Jillian’s, the food, entertainment, door prizes, security, transportation, etc.  The party will be chaperoned by school staff and parent volunteers.  Tickets for Project Grad may be purchased for $40.00 until March 31^st!   On April 1^st ticket prices will go up to $50.00; they will go up again, to $60.00, on June 1^st.  

Two parents, Ginger Scherck and Joanne Bryant, are co-chairing Project Grad and have attained an email list of approximately 40 parents out of a class of over 400 seniors.  Project Grad holds a monthly meeting the first Monday of every month at 7pm in the school library (Feb. 4^th, March 3^rd, April 7^th, May 5^th, and June 2^nd and 9^th).  We would like to have as many parents attend as possible.  We need your ideas!  Also, we have several fundraisers coming up and we need your participation!  Please check the school website, www.salemhs.vbschools.com (on the left is a section entitled “For Parents” and underneath it, just click on “Project Graduation”) to keep up to date on our fundraisers and other important information.
