Dear fellow parents of the Class of 2008 (December 2007)

In six short months our sons and daughters will be graduating from Stayton High School. We want to give them a memorable send off after graduation. Several parents have been meeting this school year working on fund raising and planning for the graduation night drug and alcohol-free party.

Our students have chosen to go to the Battle Creek Courthouse after graduation. We have reserved the facility at a rental cost of $2,200. Now that we have the facility, we need to provide activities, food, prizes and goodie bags for the kids. Chaperones will also be needed the night of the party. We estimate we need to raise approximately $8,000for the party.

Things you need to know:

*        Our next parent meeting is December 11 at 7 pm. We have been meeting in a classroom near the main office. All parents are welcome to attend.

*        We have a Student Body account at the high school - this allows any donations to be tax deductible

*        We need ideas for and assistance with fundraising - we have along way to go

*        We are continuing to sell Entertainment Books. If you would like to buy one or sell some contact Cindy at  503-769-6657 If you are unable to help with any of the fundraising, planning or working on the committees we request that you make a monetary donation to the party.  We suggest $80 - $100 per student. (yes, it really does cost that much per student for the party) However, any monetary donation is appreciated.

Checks can be made out to "Stayton High School". Please put on the memo line of the check "Senior Class Party 2008". Please send the donations to: Robin Nichols   PO BOX 82  Sublimity, OR 97385. Help us make this a great party for our kids!
