It will be June before we know it.
Planning has begun for the Hood River Valley High School Class
of 2007 All-Night Graduation Party, according to parents of
seniors who organize the event.
This party is organized and put on by parents of the graduating
seniors and the goal is to offer a safe and alcohol-free
opportunity for the entire senior class to celebrate their
accomplishments.
Organizers want to involve as many seniors as possible, which
means fund raising is underway to keep the event affordable. In
the past, the community has heavily supported the event, which
is held annually at the Hood River Elks Lodge shortly after the
commencement ceremonies are over at Hood River Valley High
School.
The new graduates dine, swim, dance, and play games, with prizes
donated by businesses and the community. At the end of the
party, shortly before dawn, a drawing is held for an automobile
that has been fixed up and detailed by a collection of local
auto shops and other businesses.
Businesses or community members who wish to help may call Becki
at 386-2510 or Melissa at 386-6789.
Any parents are welcome to attend the monthly planning meetings
which are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
in the high school commons. |
