My son had a great time as did his friends, the only thing that could
have made it more fun would have been more people!!! He really enjoyed
the DVD guy.
Thank you for all you effort to make my kids class event a success,

Great night, great effort, thank God for His provision! The
quality of the prizes was well received by the students. There
was quite a lot of food; everyone was well taken care of. There
was one student sleeping on the gym floor….maybe have some comfortable
floor pads.
The 22 year old son in my life said "I would have rather done that[the
gym] than go to Disneyland!" He commented that DLand was boring
and crowded during his Grad-nite, boring because as a senior he
probably went 20 times with his annual pass.
Thank you for the incredible team of dedicated people that made the
event possible and of course the kids that attended. I thank God
for all of you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
WOW!~ You really did a fantastic job putting this all together.
The look on the kids faces said it all as they had so much to do from
dancing, to blow up games and of course, they could eat for days.
I spoke to the Chief of Police the next day and he said that there were
no problems with the Seniors and that it was a perfect group. He
commented on how well behaved our groups are and I couldn’t agree more.
I want to share a story with you all so you can appreciate the hard
work and time you put into the event and maybe to put things in
perspective as you pass the torch to the next committee.
As you may know, I had to leave around 2:00AM to go and check in on
another Grad Night that my company was producing the lighting and DJ
for in Los Angeles. I don’t know if you realize how great our kids are
(I am sure you do) and our kids really did appreciate all you did over
the year to get to that night. The Seniors at the other Grad Night were
rude, unappreciative and destructive. They were flipping off the police
officers and calling them names, openly trying to destroy the bounce
games, throwing food on the ground etc… It made me sad and proud! I was
sad because I know how much work the parents did to try to make the
night fun for them and proud because the Kennedy Seniors were
respectful to everyone and really appreciated all that went into the
night.
I was at the City Council meeting last night and I wanted to give a
report to the City about the success you had but I didn’t want to
overstep. If you would like I would be happy to share with the City
Council your success. I don’t want to be presumptuous but I would
be love to work with your group again if you will allow me. You made
the event look like $100,000.00. Thank you for allowing me to be
part of the night. You should all be very proud of your hard work.

My son had so much fun at Grad Night! Most of his friends decided not
to go so he wasn't too excited to go. He had a blast! He was
impressed by the hypnotist. He enjoyed seeing his friends and just
hangin out. Thank you ! He had a great time and this kid is hard
to entertain.

First off, the event was wonderful. Well thought out and the kids
seemed to really enjoy themselves. I like that they all get to
spend time together instead of at some place where they’re amongst
strangers from other schools. I think some type of an area where
the kids can sit and relax comfortably would be a good idea. Many
were sitting on the hard gym floor where the DJ was (how they could
relax with all that noise is beyond me!).
Also, there was A LOT of leftover food. I think the kids are so
full from their graduation dinners with their families that they aren’t
really ravenous at the party. It was nice to have the variety but
a lot seemed like it was wasted. Maybe instead of having
the different vendors donate food items, they can donate gift
certificates to their establishments as raffle prizes.
Great job!!!
