PTA volunteers have been selling pizza, buttons and sponsoring several Dine-Outs to raise funds for the After Prom coming up in May.

At our next meeting we will discuss the upcoming  business and parent letters which we will be sending out in Feb.  (our main fundraisers), we will discuss what activities we would like to have at the After Prom-Casino tables, key chains, tattoos……. and we have basketball concessions coming up (we have signed up for 4 basketball and one wrestling match concessions).

We are looking forward to hearing your ideas to make this a great After Prom for our students. Please come and help us plan this wonderful event.  It takes a village to put on this big an event.  We would love to have Freshman and Sophomore parents get involved-your students will be attending the After Prom before you know it!
