Project Graduation

March 19, 2012

Dear Parents:

Graduation Ceremonies for the Class of 2012 will be held on Friday, June 1, 2012.  Later that evening the seniors will celebrate Project Graduation 2012, continuing a tradition that began twenty-two years ago with the Class of 1990.  Project Graduation takes place in the school and is a supervised, substance-free party for graduating seniors.  Students arrive before 11:30PM on Friday night and may not leave before 5:00AM on Saturday morning.  The event provides graduating seniors with the opportunity to be together one last time with classmates, faculty and friends in a safe and entertaining environment.

Throughout the night there will be food/beverages, live entertainment, group activities and plenty of fun.  Parents, in conjunction with the senior class and school administration, organize Project Graduation.  The primary vehicle to raise money for the event is a raffle with cash prizes to cover the cost of the event.  Without your support activities and entertainment for the evening will need to be scaled back or cancelled.   

You will receive in the mail two $25 raffle tickets to support Project Graduation 2012 and we are asking each family to purchase one raffle ticket and sell the other to a relative, friend, or co-worker.   Your child(ren) and their friends could take a chance as well.  All proceeds from the raffle go directly to cover the costs of the event.  Checks should be made payable to Albertus Magnus Project Graduation and should be returned to the main office as soon as possible.  Parent support of Project Graduation is critical to our success.  Please support this worthwhile event!

We are also in need of chaperones for two-hour shifts during the night to supervise activities.   Traditionally, the Junior Class (Class of 2013) parents act as chaperones; however, we encourage all parents of underclassmen to become involved.  If you can volunteer your time, please contact me @ (845)786-0093.  By becoming an active participant in support of Project Graduation you will ensure that this important tradition will continue for many years to come.

Thank you for your support.
