Project Graduation
When Spring rolls around, only one thing is on the minds of high school seniors across the country: GRADUATION! As a rite of passage, graduation night is a night to be proud, to celebrate achievements, and to look forward to the future. Unfortunately, it historically has also been one of the most deadly nights for teens.
The name “Project Graduation” was coined more than twenty years ago by planners in Maine, after a particularly deadly graduation season took its toll. Maine’s first Project Graduation was such a success that high schools throughout the U.S. adopted similar programs and “Project Graduation” became a generic name for chemical-free graduation parties that celebrate safety.
Please plan on participating in dupont Manual’s Project Graduation in May of 2010. Our Seniors will once again celebrate at Puzzles Fundome, with games and prizes to entertain them throughout the night. While exact details based on the final graduation date will be forthcoming, planning meetings are already underway. Any and all volunteers, regardless of student’s class year, are welcome.
For additional information, please contact Ann Fenzel.
