TZHS PROJECT GRADUATION ‘16

April, 2016

Dear TZHS Parents/Guardians:

Plans are in full swing for Tappan Zee High School’s Project Graduation ’16. This marks the 25th anniversary for Project Graduation - a supervised, substance free, all night party for graduates. The party will start at 11:30 p.m. Thursday night, June 23rd, 2016 and ends at 5:00 a.m. on Friday morning, June 24th. The celebration is held at Tappan Zee High School and is organized by the PTSA with help from the Senior Class.

The evening’s plans are in the initial stages of planning and will include lots of music with great food, and a variety of activities such as , , a video game area, ping pong and table games. In addition, we have contracted with an entertainment company for the DJ/karaoke, a jousting ring, an obstacle course, a comedian, and a photo booth.

To make this celebration a memorable occasion, we need your support and financial backing. Last year’s celebration cost approximately $12,000. There are three ways that you may contribute. First, in addition to support from our community businesses, we still depend on our parents for financial contributions. We are asking that you consider a tax deductible monetary donation of $25, $50 or whatever your budget will allow. Simply go to http://tzhsptsa.org/TZHSProjectGraduation or complete the coupon on the next page. All checks should be made payable to “TZHS/PTSA Project Graduation ’16”.

Secondly, if you are in a business where you are able to donate tickets to concerts, sporting events or a Broadway show, they would make wonderful prizes. Alternatively, if you are able to donate items such as food donations, drink donations, DVD players, iPods, laptops or other electronics. In addition, any items that are suitable for a college bound Senior are greatly appreciated. Please let us know on the attached form what you would be willing to donate.

Lastly, if you are interested in volunteering with the event, please complete section three on the attached page and return it to us. If you have any questions, please feel free contact us using the information below or e-mail us at [email protected].

With your help, TZHS’ 25th Project Graduation celebration will, once again, be a huge success.

Warm regards,

Nicole Glazer and Mary Paul Project Graduation Co-Chairs [email protected]
