PROJECT GRADUATION-Class of 2023
HELP MAKE PROJECT GRADUATION A SUCCESS!
It's hard to believe that we are almost to April and that much closer to graduation for the Waunakee High School Class of 2023! A group of senior parents is hard at work planning our annual Project Graduation — a safe, fun, all-night event for the whole class at the high school after the ceremony with tons of food, activities and prizes. It's traditionally very well attended, and a highlight for the kids each year. But we can't make it a success without the generous support from parents and our community. Please find this year's WHS Project Graduation Corporate Sponsorship options HERE and consider making a donation on behalf of your business or organization to our CLASSMUNITY page.
Flamingo flocking will resume after Spring Break-if you haven't been flocked yet, information will be placed on/near your front door with flamingos placed in your yard. You are welcome to donate via check/cash or online.
The next Project Graduation meeting will be March 30 at 6pm in the H.S teacher's lounge.
POST PROM '23
What is Post Prom - A Night in Vegas?
An event that is held at the Waunakee Village Center that extends the Prom festivities for a few hours after the dance at the High School ends. It keeps our students celebrating in a safe environment. This event opens at 10:30 p.m. and allows entry until 11:30 p.m., and ends at 2:00 a.m. Students will be able to enjoy casino games, trivia, food, music, and photo opportunities, and will wrap up the night with an opportunity to win PRIZES!
Who can attend Post Prom?
- Post Prom is a ticketed event and tickets can be purchased through GoFan for any Waunakee High School junior or senior class member (even if they don’t choose to attend Prom), as well as any guest approved to attend Prom.
- Tickets must be purchased in advance and students must enter the Village Center by 11:30 p.m. with no re-entry.
- Students must be present to win PRIZES. (Tickets will go on sale two weeks prior to Prom.)
Ways to support Post Prom
- Adults - We are seeking 1-2 people to organize and lead the efforts to manage the volunteers needed to run the casino games at the event. If you are willing to step up to the challenge, please email waunakeepostprom@gmail.com.
- Coming after Spring Break - Keep an eye out for a SignUp Genius seeking food and supply donations for the night of the event. We will need help with set up, check in, games and activities, prize drawings, and clean up.
