Community Appeal - All Night Post Graduation Party

Dear Community Member,

The Smithfield High School Parent Council is in the process of conducting its 24^th annual appeal to enlist community support for the students of Smithfield High School.  Contributions to the Parent Council will enable us to continue to offer the All Night Post Graduation Party that is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 for our graduating seniors.  The purpose of this substance-free event is to ensure a fatality-free evening, by providing an alternative to party hopping, where the use of drugs and alcohol has led to tragedy.

Immediately following the graduation ceremony, students and chaperones will be taken by bus to a sports facility where they will enjoy various activities that include dinner, dancing, games, and surprise activities until 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 12, 2013.  They will then return to the high school where they will join their parents for a Sunrise Breakfast.

It is our hope that all seniors can attend this spectacular event free of charge.  Therefore, we are appealing to you for support by asking for a donation to help defray the cost of the event.  It is estimated that it will cost between $20,000 and $22,000.  Please send your contribution to Smithfield High School Parent Council, 90 Pleasant View Ave., Smithfield, RI  02917.  Checks can be made payable to Smithfield High School Parent Council.

Please help us offer the students of Smithfield High quality activities that promote achievement, self-worth and safety.  Your contribution to our young people sends the strong message that the Smithfield community cares.

Please consider being a part of this “Community Gift” to our graduating Seniors!

Thank you in advance for your support and commitment to the youth of Smithfield.

Sincerely,

Annette and Barbara
