Seniors, Class of 2025 News and Updates

Please continue to share out the fundraiser to other families, friends, and employers, so we can support the senior breakfast, all night senior spree celebration June 17, and yard/window signs for all graduates. Please donate by March 19th.   This is a final push to do what we can to make senior events affordable and accessible to all of our families. 

Donate for Senior Class Activities

Senior Breakfast is the morning of graduation on June 17. This special event gives the class of 2025 a chance to gather the morning of graduation before heading directly to graduation rehearsal.  The event includes a catered breakfast and a meaningful program honoring the class. Fundraising makes this event FREE.

Yard Signs for Graduates! Fundraising allows every student to get a yard or window sign for FREE!

Senior Spree is the post-graduation all-night drug and alcohol-free party the evening of June 17.  Students board buses following graduation and are driven to two secret locations with food and fun activities, along with chaperones. 

This fundraiser will help keep senior breakfast free for all and provide scholarship funds for SPREE. Ideally, we need to raise over $25,000 to keep these events financially inclusive for every graduating student!

A $125 donation (+ purchase of spree ticket) will cover actual cost of your student attending SPREE, breakfast and getting a yard sign.

Any amount is appreciated. The proceeds will help pay for the signs and breakfast and enable us to offer as many SPREE scholarships as possible.
