Chairman Grad Night Committee ‘17

Approximately 65 students will graduate Friday Harbor High School on June 10. It has become a tradition on San Juan Island to honor the graduates with a safe, sane, and sober all-night celebration. It is a final gathering of the senior class to enjoy one another with an evening full of unique exciting activities planned, in secret, by their parents in cooperation with the Prevention Coalition.

It takes almost a full year of planning and fundraising to create this memorable event and could not be done without the help and generosity of our terrific community.

Would you like to help? You can do so by attending the senior/staff basketball game on March 10. Admission is by donation. Dinner starts at 5:30 p.m., and features Bakery San Juan pizza, salad, a drink, and dessert all for only $10. A dessert and gift basket silent auction will be held, along with many entertaining activities through the night. The game begins at 6:30 p.m.

Next, comes the Rummage sale in the FHHS Commons on Saturday, March 18 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Donations can be dropped off at FHHS on Friday, March 17 from noon to 6 p.m.

You could also consider a tax-deductible donation. Checks can be made out to FHHS PTSA with “Grad Night 2017” in the memo line. They can be mailed to Grad Night c/o Travis Ayers PO Box 2165, Friday Harbor, WA 98250. Every little bit helps, and will be used to ensure our kids have the night of their lives as they embark on the next chapter of their journey.
