LETTER: Project Graduation Night A Success!

On June 15, 2012, 181 graduates from the Souhegan High School class of 2012 attended the 2012 Project Graduation celebration at the Hampshire Dome.

Project Graduation is an all-night, organized, substance-free, adult-supervised, post-graduation party.

The graduates enjoyed a variety of entertainment during the night including a hypnotist, a comedian, a DJ, a photo booth, inflatable challenges, volleyball, and mini-golf as well as ice cream, pizza, and a smoothie bar.

There were over 50 prizes awarded during the night including televisions, dorm refrigerators, a Kindle Fire, XBOX Connect, dorm accessories and many gift cards to local restaurants and retail shops.

It was a wonderful and safe way to celebrate graduation, and it would not have been possible without the tremendous generosity of the community.
