VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO HELP WITH NORTHSHORE HIGH SCHOOL'S PROJECT GRADUATION PARTY FOR THE
CLASS OF 2009! If you would like to help out or find out more about Project Graduation, make
plans to attend the first general meeting: Nov. 17--7:00pm, Pope John Paul H.S. Cafeteria.
***********************************************************************************************
Project Graduation is an annual community-sponsored, parent coordinated,
alcohol and drug-free event that allows the senior classes of Salmen, Pope John
Paul II, Slidell, Pearl River, and Northshore High Schools to enjoy an all-night
celebration at the Slidell Auditorium on the night of their respective graduations
in May. The Northshore High party will be held after commencement from 11:00pm-5:00am.
Seniors are able to enjoy a safe evening of games, food, music, and prizes
with their classmates before they go their separate ways after graduation. The
Project Graduation organization has been successful in preventing the needless
loss of life due to an alcohol or drug related accident on graduation night.
The motto of Project Graduation is
*If just one young life is saved, it is all worthwhile.*
Parent volunteers and corporate sponsors are needed to help with this worthwhile event.
General meetings for Project Graduation for the five area high schools will be held at 7:00p.m.
