Dear Parents,

This letter is to help you understand the costs and meaning of Project Graduation. Project Graduation occurs directly after graduation and is a party to celebrate their achievement without the risks of drinking and driving. The event is held in a secret location as to add to the surprise of the event.

As you can imagine, the event is expensive to run. In order to help pay for the event, there are four set fundraisers. The 50/50 raffle during their sophomore year, the entrance fees/food sales from the spring craft fair during their junior year and two events their senior year, entrance fees/food sales from the fall craft fair and seniormania(similar to color war).Unfortunately these events do not cover the whole cost.

Each student that attends also pays dues. At our February meeting the dues amount were set as follows:  $150 if paid by June 2013. Thereafter the amount raises to $175 and must be paid by May 2014. After that date, students will not be able to attend. Planning of this event takes a lot of time and knowing the number of students in advance is imperative to getting the correct venue.  This money can be sent by check to Project Graduation2014 to Wendy Rosenzweig, 85 Lambert Pl, Paramus, NJ 07652.

We will be having many more meetings and would love you to be involved. Please look at the website and sign up for our emails at projectgraduation2014@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

The Project Graduation Committee for the Class of 2014
