We are sending you this letter because we are planning the next PROJECT GRADUATION event.  As you may know, this is an annual tradition for all graduating seniors. It is an opportunity for the graduates to celebrate their numerous accomplishments and their graduation in a safe, substance-free environment.

The graduates are transported by bus to a “secret” location. They are chaperoned by volunteer parents and teachers.  Once at the location, they enjoy numerous activities, food, and generally have a wonderful last bonding time together as a class.  They are then transported back to Hopkinton and returned safely to their homes by parents.

In order for PROJECT GRADUATION to be a continued success, we ask families of the graduates, parents of all Hopkinton students, and the community as a whole to make contributions to the event.

Each and every donation is tax-deductible and any individual or organization that contributes will be recognized in the graduation program on June 8, 2012.  We hope you will consider making a donation at this time.  You will receive a thank you letter documenting your contribution for tax purposes.

We, the parents of graduating seniors, want to thank you for all your previous support for this 25-year-long community tradition and hope we can continue to provide a safe, fun experience for our students this year and for many years to come.

Sincerely,

The Project Graduation Committee:

Fonda Beane, Peggy Baron, Sue Batchelder, Michelle Benson, Susan Buehler, Maggie Cook, Heidi Coen, Mandy Fraser, Scott Herman, Martha Madsen Greabe, Marcia McCaffrey, Amy Messer, Nancy Nee, LeeAnne Vance, Ann Wayland, Wendy Wetterer, Brenda White, Vickie Anderson-White, Dennie Yianakopolos.
