After Prom Party Maine-Endwell Central School District 750 Farm to Market Road Endwell, NY 13760 meapparty@gmail.com January 2014 Dear Senior Parents & Families, We, as a community, have an obligation to provide a safe and wholesome atmosphere for our children and young adults. Communities across the nation have successfully presented exciting and safe parties for high school students to attend following their proms. Maine-Endwell APP continues to offer this event as this will be our 27th year to provide a sensible and enjoyable alcohol and drug free alternative celebration following their prom. This is an ambitious project, but the statistics relating to teen alcohol related deaths underscore the importance of this endeavor. This year the Senior Prom will be on Friday, June 13th and our After Prom Party (APP) will begin at midnight and conclude at 5:00 a.m. with the drawing of grand prizes. This event is optional, but highly encouraged and is free of charge for senior students and their dates. We are hoping to duplicate the success of last year’s event. We strive to have 100% of eligible students attend the APP. We truly believe that most young adults will make good choices when provided with a viable option. The party involves music, games, entertainment, and prizes for all students along with lots of food and drinks. Our goal is to have each senior student who attends walk away with a prize. The prizes range from various gift cards to large grand prizes. The budget for this event is approximately $12,000 and this special evening cannot be successful without the continued generous support of parents, teachers, alumni, Maine-Endwell community neighbors and business members. We are asking for your support, but the good news is that we are not necessarily asking for money. You may choose to donate prizes, gift certificates, and food or drink donations. We are also in need of Parent Volunteers, which might include but not limited to: volunteering at fund-raisers, bottle drives, helping to plan for the event which can include: shopping for prizes, coordinating entertainment, food, decorating, set-up, working the event, to clean-up! This event is for the safety of our children, but more importantly our families, our school and our community. If you have any questions please contact an APP Board Member. We need your help to make this a success! Please complete the APP Donation and Volunteer form. No donation is too small. If you prefer to mail your contribution now, please see the attached information for submission.
