Dear JCHS
Parents:
First and
foremost, thank you to all of you and your students that have already
volunteered to help out in some way for the 17th Intergenerational
Prom. A few parents have said that they would like to see this again, so
if you have already volunteered, please feel free to delete this or let it serve
as a reminder for the date and time of the event.
Again, my name is
Christine Corliss and for those of you that don't know me yet, I am the new
publicity person for the school district. As such, one of my responsibilities is
organizing the Intergenerational
Prom that has become such an
anticipated event for our local seniors. (The welcome that I have received
as I delivered invitations for this event was amazing! It is truly a
well-loved event!) This year, the prom will take place on
April 10 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm at the JCHS
cafeteria.
However, with every wonderful event
comes work and I am hoping that many of you will be able to help. If you are
able to help in one or more of the following areas, it will be very
appreciated. Just let me know if you have any
questions!!
* Appetizers
-- Anyone willing to bring a plate of some sort of simple appetizer (cheese and
crackers, veggies and dip, etc.) can drop it to the school from 2:30 to 5:30p.m.
on the day of the prom.
* Cookies -- We are baking cookies to
put on trays for dessert. If you are able to make a batch of one kind of
cookie to contribute and/or help with the assembly of the trays, please
contact Judy Collins who has graciously offered to
assemble the cookie platters. Thank you, Judy.
* Decorating
-- We only have 3 hours to transform the cafeteria into
a Night Under the Stars (Yes, that is the theme this year). Anyone willing to
help set tables, decorate walls, hang stars, etc. can help out from
2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on April 10. Also, if your
children are willing and able to stay and help, that will also be
great!! Three hours is not a lot of time!
* Students -- As most of
you know, our students are the real attraction here and we need them to come and
serve, talk, dance, and have fun with our guests. Grades 9 and 10 will act
as servers this year, grades 11 and 12 will act as hosts, dancers,
etc.
Some of your children
may have already signed up in school, if so, wonderful; if not, we would love
for them to come!! To sign up, the
students can see their class advisors or student council
advisor.
I
thank you all for your time, support and suggestions (yes, I am
open to all of them!).
I look forward to meeting
you!
Regards,
Christine Corliss
