PROJECT GRAD UPDATE!
Dear Senior Parents,
Now that mid-terms are over, it’s time to start planning our graduation celebrations! We need your help to continue our fundraising and party planning efforts!
Ways you can help:
1) Talk with your child about drugs and alcohol
The mission of Project Graduation is to provide a safe, drug and alcohol free celebration to help keep kids safe and reduce incidents of driving under the influence. Talk to your child about making healthy choices and ways to stay and encourage them to attend Project Graduation. Here is an excellent resource from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services for tips on talking with your kids https://preventionforme.org/parent/
2) Volunteer

Bottle Drive @ Raider Redemption - Saturday, February 17th, 9am-noon
Volunteer with us to help collect bottles or bring your bottles directly to Raider Redemption in Winslow. We do need parents and students to spend a few hours helping collect bottles. Warm beverages will be provided! Also, we have an account for Project Graduation and you can donate your bottles to our cause at your convenience (not limited to this day).
Public Breakfast @ Waterville Masonic Lodge - Sunday, March 10th, 8-10am
The Waterville Masonic Lodge has generously agreed to support Waterville Project Graduation with a large donation, including donations received at their March 10th free public breakfast. We need your help to recruit a few students to help serve breakfast and participate in a very fun photo opportunity with a large check (like when you win the lottery).
Chaperone Project Graduation - Thursday, June 6th, 9pm - ??
Show your support for our students and help keep our kids safe on graduation night.
3) Donate
Create a personalized 99Pledges donation page for your student and share with friends and family or make a donation to the main page. Funds will go to support Project Graduation for all students. https://app.99pledges.com/fund/WatervilleGrad24

Sincerely,
The Project Graduation Committee
