Project Graduation Needs YOU! Hello, I‟m Tory Schulte, Chair for Stone Bridge High School‟s Project Graduation. Project Graduation is an all night extravaganza for our graduates held the night of graduation at SBHS. Graduation is statistically a “high risk” night for our teens‟ safety in many ways. Our goal is to provide students with a drug- free, alcohol-free, tobacco-free environment, which affords a fun, safe and memorable conclusion to their years in high school. Project Graduation is a national organization, started in the late 1950‟s and we are one of 40+ high schools in the Northern Virginia area that host an all- night graduation party. There is substantial cost (in the neighborhood of $35,000.00) associated with this safe, yet fabulous party. SBHS-PG does fundraising activities (i.e. the sale of White House Christmas ornaments, Comedy Hypnosis Show, etc.) to help offset these costs & provide a „first class‟ event! We also solicit donations of money, food and prizes from community businesses and individuals. The Project Graduation Celebration yields not only a safe alternative for the graduates on graduation night, but an opportunity for the parents and community to work together to create an awesome experience for these students as well as the volunteers (yes! it’s fun for us, too!). Every year we try to add new volunteers (especially parents of underclassmen) to help carry on this important tradition. This year, Project Graduation will take place on Thursday, June 16th, from 11:30pm to 5:00am. We are fortunate to have a terrific board of officers already in place. Volunteers like you are needed to help these chairs either prior to June 16th or on the day of the all night party. If you would like more information on how you can help, contact Tory Schulte @ [email protected] or call at 703-726-8169. We hope that you will return the stapled volunteer form to the school office with your student. Thanks!
