Last year’s seniors went to Dave and Busters for project graduation and although they had a great time, not everyone came out with a big prize. It would be nice to have more items for the students who attend this final senior event.

Thank you so much for your assistance in helping your child’s senior year become an unforgettable one!

Good night!
