WE NEED YOUR HELP!

You have probably heard about Nite in Hand, the substance free graduation night party at the high school for seniors.

But have you ever thought about why YOU should be involved?

The event is important to our whole community, not only to celebrate this exciting time for seniors, but also because we all come together with a shared commitment to keep our kids safe. And if you are not a senior parent, you soon will be! Find out more about Nite in Hand by helping out this year.

There are many ways, large and small, that you can be involved. We are in the final countdown to the Big Event and need LOTS of help. Here are some things you can do:

SENIOR AUCTION

Date: Friday, May 20th
Description: Do you need your garage cleaned?  Entertainment for a party?  Babysitting?  These services and so many more donated by members of the senior class will be auctioned off. And check out the amazing silent auction items...get a group together and share a table and a night of fun!
Need: You to come! And donations for the Silent Auction: sporting tickets, vacations, art, lessons, etc.

DECORATIONS

Date: from 6:30 – 9 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 9 to noon on Saturdays at the St. Margaret's warehouse on Academy Street

Need: Carpenters, artists, park benches (wrought iron and wood – just to borrow!), trucks for the load in and load out.
