TICKET ORDER FORM

 
Attention Parents of Seniors:
The All-Night Senior Grad Party is an event that the senior class parents organize and is not a school-sponsored event.  The goal is to provide a fun, safe, supervised, and sober graduation celebration with all-night entertainment.  
The event takes place on the night of graduation beginning at about 10:00 p.m. with organized bus transportation picking up students, traveling to surprise destinations with entertainment, food, and music, and then returning them early in the morning of the following day.  The party is designated as drug and alcohol free.  For security reasons, no "in and out" privileges are extended.
How big an event, where it is held, and what is offered is totally up to US – the senior parents!
·     Attend a meeting.  (Held the first Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in Room 210A, except for April.  Next Meeting:  April 12, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in Room 210A at LHS)
·          Support our ongoing fundraisers.  (Currently selling Lindbergh logo jersey pants and flip-flops.)
