All Night Graduation Celebration Recap
by Allie Felder
Well, the Class of 2008 had a spectacular All Night Graduation Celebration, and are on their way to the next stage in life. This gala event, which provided a secure, fun, all-night recreational experience at the Spring Hill Recreation Center for most of the class, was the result of a lot of hard work by parents from all four classes.
Now we must begin work to ensure that the Class of 2009 also has great experience. To that end, I have volunteered to chair the 2009 Committee.
We have volunteers to head most of the committees, but we still need volunteers to chair corporate fundraising, non-corporate fundraising, permission slips, security, pictures and prizes. We have a lot of work to do to get organized, raise the funds required to put on the event, solicit donations of goods and services, engage the Class of 2009 to get them to attend, and to generally do all the legwork to get this event going.
However, this is not just an event for Class of 2009 parents. Last year we worked hard to get parents from the Junior Class to shadow the Senior Class parents through the planning and execution processes so that they could "learn the ropes." That has given the Class of 2009 a cadre of experienced parents. Class of 2010 parents should plan to get involved early, with shadows for all the key positions on the ANGC committee, in order to build experience for the 2010 ANGC. And it's not too late for the sophomore and freshman class parents to get involved this year!
I look forward to working with you to make a great graduation evening event for the Class of 2009, and to work with the parents of the Class of 2010 to pass on the lessons and information we will gather in the course of putting on the 2009 ANGC.
