We have a great party planned for our graduates at the St. James sports complex that will include Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, a Casino, DK/Karaoke, Golf Simulators, Airbrush Tattoo Artists, Carnival Games, Food, Prizes and the Super Awesome Amazing Room! Don't let your Senior be left out on graduation night!
Volunteers Needed at the ANG Celebration, June 4
To make this party happen, we need adult volunteers that night at the St. James. In order to have the All Night Graduation Celebration at the St. James, the venue REQUIRES a minimum of 1 chaperone/volunteer per 10 students to run this event (the St. James will cancel without full volunteer staffing)! That means we will need over 60 adult volunteers over two shifts at the party.
We have a range of volunteer positions open – setup, arrival assistance, bag check, food service, casino dealers, prizes, and roving chaperones. We also need people in the leads for these areas. Volunteer shifts run 3 to 4 hours over the course of the night (you can sign-up for two shifts and stay for the whole party).
You can sign up to volunteer at the following SignUpGenius Link:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4EA9A62FA7F58-49226288-allnight
Volunteers can be parents, alumni, family, and friends of FHS. This is open to parents with students at ALL grade levels, it is not limited to Senior Class parents (but we certainly want their support). Please to share this link with anyone who may want to help out at the party.
Only You Can Help Make the Party Happen!
