Support Project Graduation this Fall

Is your car dirty? Do you have old electronic devices lying around? Do you want a way to support Dayton's class of 2011? 

You are in luck. The Project Graduation subcommittee of Dayton's Parent Teacher Student Organization has announced the fall lineup that will kick-start their fundraising year. 

Project Graduation, now a Dayton tradition, is a night of activities following the school's June graduation ceremony. Held as a way to prevent alcohol-related misfortunes, Project Graduation presents students with fun activities like DJs, Movies, Dance Parties, hypnotists and more. 

On Oct. 2, Project Graduation will hold two fundraising events at Dayton. Springfield residents are invited to bring unwanted electronic devices to a recycling drive by  college financial aid education group Principia NP. Acceptable items include laptops, plasma screens, scanners and cell phones (see attached flyer for event time and details, including a full list of sought items). All proceeds from the collection benefit Project Graduation. 

And once your car is lightened of surplus gadgets and other equipment, you can get it cleaned off, too. Dayton's graduating class will be cleaning cars in the rear parking lot. Cars are $5 in advance, and $7 at the gate; SUVs and minivans are $7 in advance and $9 day of. As with the electronics recycling, all proceeds go towards Project Graduation. 

Other project graduation activities are listed below. 

On Wednesday November 19, 2010, 6:30 p.m. they will be sponsoring the "Bulldog Basket Auction" to raise funds for Project Graduation and PTSO sponsored events (including yearly scholarships to 15 – 20 students).
