Senior SPREE

Graduation is right around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about Senior SPREE!

Buy your student’s ticket and learn more!

What is SPREE? 
Senior SPREE is coordinated by parent volunteers and is an all-night grad party and an IHS tradition! Immediately following the graduation ceremony, students hop onto chartered buses for a night of fun. Throughout the event, grads travel to two different exciting venues and are treated to multiple activities and adventures, meals, and fun. Past activities have included video games, henna artists, DJs, a hypnotist and meals and snacks throughout the night!

We keep exact details a secret – we want our seniors to be surprised! The Senior SPREE committee, composed of IHS parents, has been hard at work to create an amazing and memorable night for this year’s Senior Class. Give your student the gift of one final night as the Class of 2023 where great memories will be created!

What does SPREE cost?
$60 per student.
Advance tickets only. Ticket sales close on June 9.
Thank you to FOI for helping to subsidize the cost of this event and lowering the actual cost per student.
We want every senior to attend regardless of financial ability.

You must be an approved volunteer with SPS to sign up. If you are interested in getting approved to volunteer, start the process.

What is SPREE? Spree is an all-night graduation party sponsored by FOI and planned by volunteer parents. New graduates ride charter buses to two venues with entertainment, food, and fun from 10PM- 5:30AM, Tuesday, June 27th. Exact details are kept secret – we want our seniors to be surprised!

Why SPREE? Graduation night is a time to be proud and celebrate achievements and look forward to the future. SPREE is an alcohol and substance-free event and a safe alternative to driving from party to party (the typical graduation night scenario).

School Communication

Ingraham uses various methods to communicate information to students and families:

• Students, please start checking your SPS email inbox daily for information from the school. 
• Schoology pages
• School Bulletins:  We email the school bulletin via a system called School Messenger.  Occasionally, we hear from parents/guardians who say they are not receiving the bulletin or have suddenly stopped receiving them.  It is usually an email filter issue or you have inadvertently unsubscribed.  Please manage your communication preferences
