Grad night on schedule

As the end of the 2010-11 school year nears, parents continue to work to bring Grad Night to fruition despite abnormal number of seniors who have not purchased bids yet.

Parents are sworn to secrecy regarding the event’s preparation and theme, yet they say that Grad Night planning is right on schedule. Past Grad Nights have included extensive decorations and multiple activities, including a hypnotist who many considered last year’s highlight.

“The bid-selling process is not going as well as I expected,” said parent Ainin Edman, who is in charge of tickets and administration for the Grad Night Committee. “However, there are about 100 seniors who haven’t bought them yet. Students must remind each other to buy their bids, because it would be a shame if some graduates couldn’t attend Grad Night.”

Edman said that students can find Grad Night forms online and can either send the signed form with the $205 cost through mail, or they can bring their forms to a box available in the attendance office.

Although not all bids have been sold, preparation and decoration for Grad Night itself is running smoothly. “The preparation is going extremely well,” said Shanku Sharma, a co-chair of Grad Night Committee. “We have lots of fun activities planned, and it is going to be awesome.”

Edman refused to reveal the theme of Grad Night, although she gave a clue, stating that the theme was “a lot of fun. Fun fun fun. All about fun.”
