Oliver Ames' Safe Grad Night Prepares for 17th Year

Submitted to Easton Patch:

Safe Grad Night…It’s a Community Event

Entering its 17^th year, Safe Grad Night is a drug and alcohol-free, post graduation celebration that will bring seniors together for one last memorable event at Oliver Ames High School.  The Class of 2013 will be able to extend their graduation day festivities, and parents will have peace of mind, knowing their children are enjoying themselves in a safe environment. The new graduates will check in at 11pm June 2, and enjoy an all night affair full of activities, food and fun until 5am Monday morning.

The Safe Grad Committee hopes to focus community support on the event and is reaching out to include as much local support as possible. Safe Grad Night does not receive any funding from the school.  The evening is funded entirely by parents, community members and local businesses and cannot take place without all of their participation.  Easton is proud of its graduates and Safe Grad Night allows the community an opportunity to reward the Class of 2013 for their decision to celebrate in a responsible way.  In the past, event activities have included a bungee run, mechanical bull, airbrush tattoos, games, prizes, food and the ever popular finale - a guest hypnotist.

In order to provide the best and safest outcome, the Safe Grad Committee is asking for your help.  All are welcome.  Chaperones and volunteers in all areas are needed.  Donations of prizes, gift cards and cash are always appreciated. 

Tickets for the evening will be sold in advance at Oliver Ames High School.  All of the activities and food for the evening are covered with a ticket purchase – including multiple chances to win raffle prizes.

Oliver Ames’ graduates are so grateful for your support.  For more information on how you can help, contact Joanne Faust btnmom@comcast.net or Leslie Fitzgerald JFitzJax@aol.com or visit www.OASafeGrad.org.
