Silent Auction Countdown

11 days and counting.  Make certain that Tuesday, 03.04.14, is on your calendar for fabulous deals and a great time.  You've never had so much fun on a Tuesday evening.  To make out your shopping list, go to http://schoolsout2014.blogspot.com/p/silent-auction-item-booklet_17.html .

 

Junior Parents

Just over 100 days and you will be the parents of seniors.  I'll bet all you have been thinking about is their senior party.  If you have an interest in chairing any committee next year, this is the opportunity of a lifetime.  Come shadow the countdown to our party with this year's chair of the committee of your interest.  We are particularly looking for anyone interested in Registration Chair and an Entertainment Chair for 2015, but all are welcome.  If you are interested, please contact chair@hopkinsgradparty.com.

 

Will your son or daughter be driving to school next year?  Don't forget to attend the Silent Auction on Tuesday, 03.04.14, and bid on the premium parking spot-Item Number 301.

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 PARTY INVITATIONS

Senior Party Invitations will be distributed to students in Monday Advisory.  The cost is $30, lower than the ticket price in over 10 years.  Information on registration is on the invitation.  We encourage students to register now, as the price increases in May.  Also included in the invitation is a flyer about the Silent Auction.  Don't miss it!

 

PARTY GRAS SILENT AUCTION

Don't forget the Fat Tuesday (03.04.14) Silent Auction - 5:30-8:30pm in the Cafeteria.  Follow this link http://schoolsout2014.blogspot.com/p/silent-auction-item-booklet_17.html to see all the fabulous offerings.  In addition, when you come to the Pops Concert, the One-Act Play, or the Orchestra Concert, take a look at the auditorium showcase for a glimpse of a few auction items.  Questions? chair@hopkinsgradparty.com

 

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.

 

Please visit the All Night Grad Party web site for online payment and registration information and more! http://hopkinsgradparty.com/2014/

The Senior Party is paid for three ways; ticket prices, fundraising and donations (both monetary and in-kind). To keep the ticket prices at a low price, at this time planned for $30, the planning committee has set up several fundraisers.  In addition to these, we are also looking for donations of items for the party or for the Silent Auction in March.  Monetary donations are also accepted and encouraged.

Sometimes what is important is who you know.  Below is a list of donors from past years' parties, along with contact information.  Please take a look at the list.  If you have a personal relationship with anyone on the list, or have a lead of your own, feel free to take charge.  To prevent overlap, if you intend asking for a donation, please let me know (stmcnamee@comcast.net).
