Parents of ALL students:

GRAD NITE 2008 NEEDS YOU!

 

Be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event for the

JFK graduates of 2008!

 

JFK Grad Nite is a drug-free, alcohol-free, all night on campus celebration for all 2008 Kennedy graduates.  Grad Nite is a parent conducted event and the participation of many parents, especially those of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors is needed.  This is a great opportunity for you to be a part of the last activity these kids will ever attend as high school students. They will never forget this night, and if you are a part of it, neither will you!!!

 

You do not need to have a senior student to be part of the Grad Nite team.  Jump in now and ensure that the JFK Grad Nite tradition continues for years to come.
