CLASS OF 2014 – SENIOR PARTY SILENT AUCTION FUNDRAISER
Just a little over two weeks until the Party Gras Silent Auction and more items have been added to the list.  A 'Tuttle's Bowling Night Out for Big Kids,’ $169 Mary Kay Spa Luxury Package, and a one month Life Time Fitness Family Membership (St. Louis Park)can each be yours for the highest bid.  Seniors Peter Kramer (standing bass) and Alex Tuthill-Preus (guitar) will play some smooth jazz while you sip your Hurricane Punch (low octane, of course) and do some shopping.
 
When you arrive at the auction, please sign in at the table to get your bidding number and your packet of items available to bid on that night. The auction will run from 5:30-8:30pm; sections will begin closing between 8:00-8:30pm to facilitate check out preparation.
 
In addition, you will have the opportunity to buy directories (don't forget the grad open house invitations), sign up to volunteer at the party, or purchase a party scholarship at the 'I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR' table.
 

See you there! Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!

SENIOR PARENTS
Please read this important message about the Infinite Campus All Night Grad Party registration fee!
Hopefully, you have heard that invitations to the All Night Grad Party are making their way home with your students soon! The Registration Committee wanted you to know we also have an online registration and payment process available.

All students will see an OPTIONAL fee appear on your Senior student’s Infinite Campus account labeled “All Night Grad Party.”  If you prefer to pay the registration fee online, use this fee to submit your payment (but remember your students still need to submit registration forms to be fully registered).  The students that submit payment in person or via mail, or decide not to attend the class party, will have this OPTIONAL fee removed at the end of the year.
