ALL-NIGHT 2010 GRAD PARTY
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:  May 3, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in Room 210A at LHS)
·          Support our ongoing fundraisers.  (Currently selling Lindbergh logo jersey pants and flip-flops.)

Convention

We need your involvement at Convention - and Early Bird registration is now open http://www.wastatepta.org/meetings/con10/index.html.  Come for the training and networking AND to help our association conduct the work we need to get done - By-Law changes, Resolutions and electing new officers.  We can't do this without you!

Committees

We are looking to significantly engage members in two new WSPTA endeavors - the Resource Development Committee and the Strategic Plan Task Force.  While we would certainly like folks with background in these areas, we also want members who can give us the "in the trenches" perspective.  Or if you are looking for other ways to be involved after your "leadership" service is over, this would be a great opportunity for you.
