Additional Fundraiser: MI Blood blood drive will be held on May 23 from 10
a.m. to 1 p.m.. MI Blood will give Grad Bash $10 per person that signs up
and attempts to give blood. We will be taking sign-ups for specific time
slots so that it will run smoothly and efficiently. More information closer
to the date.
Transportation: Buses have been ordered, thanks to Jo Ann Hurst!
Prizes: MB Henry and the Kirkendalls have this covered. There will be a
specific plan for the students to “win” prizes (slightly different from
years past where names were drawn randomly).
Video: Deb Krueger is organizing this. Parents should be encouraged to send
in photos on behalf of their student. (That is often the best way, as the
students don’t often have this on their “radar” as something important to
do!) Photos should be submitted by April 23, which will be right after Prom.
Entertainment: Julie and Shaye have several forms of additional
entertainment planned. Their budget was approved.
Theme: “Oh, the Places You’ll Go…” There will be a contest to heighten
interest and excitement for Grad Bash. The Grad Bash committee has approved
funds to purchase a prize of significant value for the winner of the
contest. The contest will consist of students identifying mystery places and
submitting their answers for several weeks for a final drawing (one winner)
hopefully to be done at the Senior Breakfast.
Dates to note: April 23-27 Students will sign up for Grad Bash during lunch
hours.
Next meeting: Monday, April 9 (this is the first day back to school after
Spring Break).
>>We will be looking for volunteers to help with sign-ups, as well as making
final plans for the BIG EVENT!
