Senior Send Off- Celebrating Senior Students at East Side :)

Hi friends & family,

The College & Career Office at East Side Community High School NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!!

We are planning to celebrate the dynamic Class of 2024 and their next steps in life at our Senior Send Off event. Historically, staff and 6-12th grade students are invited (700+ people) to our auditorium and cheer for Seniors as they walk on stage to announce their Career and / or College plans.

This year, we want to make the event even more special, but are in need of funds to do so.

Our vision includes:

A) Purchasing:

1. Giveaways for 6-11 grade (pom poms, stickers, glow sticks, snacks)

2. Giveaways for 12th grade (apparel from their school, flowers, gift cards)

B) Hiring a videographer and photographer

C) Possibly booking a DJ

Which would cost about $2,850. Please help us make this event a memorable one :)
