Project Graduation Note: Project graduation is a parent organization. It is not sponsored by Eastern High School.

Dear Eastern High School Parents, Guardians, & Friends,

Project Graduation is a long-standing tradition for the newest Eastern High School Alumni. Graduating seniors look forward to it each year. On graduation night, the event offers a fun overnight lock-in which is tobacco, alcohol and drug-free. This all-night party is organized, funded, operated, and chaperoned by parent/guardian volunteers. All new graduates are encouraged to attend, free of cost, as this is a fun farewell to high school days. Activities include music, food, basketball, , inflatables, photo booth, and other various games and activities. Additionally, each Eastern High School Senior leaves with a prize.

This year Project Graduation will take place at Mid America Sports Complex at 1906 Watterson Trail, Louisville, KY 40299. Check in will start at 10 p.m. on the night of Graduation, and ends promptly at midnight, at which time, the doors will be locked. The event ends at 5 a.m. the next morning.

Parent/guardian/community involvement is VITAL to the success of this event. Fundraisers, monetary and gift donations are ways that you can help to play a role in this event for your graduating Senior. Facility rental, security, entertainment, and games all contribute to the cost of putting on this spectacular event. The projected cost is $25,000 which is in line with last year’s expenses. Parents are needed to help with games, chaperoning and food service that evening.

Any questions can be directed to Karen Pridemore at [email protected] or Dora McKnight at [email protected] Thank you in advance for your support.

Please see the attached sheet for more information to contribute: www.easterneagles.org/parents/projectgraduationletter.pdf

Dress Code for Dances Our staff is happy to volunteer personal time to provide activities such as the dances students enjoy so much. However, in recent years the length of some of the female students’ skirts have continued to climb, making it very difficult to monitor our ticket lines of students coming into the dance as we deal with dress code. In light of this, we are clarifying the dress code for the events and need your help in making sure in advance that clothing is appropriate:

• Dresses must be no more than 1 inch above the top of the kneecap (measurement will be taken at the end line of the main fabric of the dress, not at the end of any sheer material enhancing the dress) • Slits must be no more than 1 inch above the top of the kneecap • Dresses must be complete with no cut outs or sheer material that expose the stomach or sides • Dresses must not have plunging necklines or backs that are cut out below the natural waist Attire for those not wearing dresses, must include: • Collared or Tuxedo Shirt • Tie • Dress Pants • Dress Shoes • Suit or Tuxedo Jacket Students will not be allowed to wear jeans, shoes, or caps. Students must be dressed appropriately to be admitted and must remain in dress code for the duration of the event. Ticket prices will not be refunded if a student is not dressed appropriately and has to be turned away or removed from the event.

We realize that many of the local retailers provide a large selection of evening and party dresses, but our events are not “club events” or “private party” events. They are for high school age students. We appreciate in advance your assistance in ensuring students are dressed appropriately for these events.
