Dayton Grad Night Fundraiser
The goal of Safe Grad Night is to insure, with the help of the community, that the students have the opportunity to celebrate their success in a safe, controlled, drug-free environment.
All 2010 graduates of Dayton High can attend this event at the Incline Community Center following graduation on June 4. Graduate attendees will enjoy a night of swimming, games, food, gifts, and activities (including a Velcro wall). In addition to supporting the event by dining at the Pizza Factory on Friday, community and businesses can contribute directly to the committee by contacting Carol Goodfellow at 246-2909. Each local high school has a Grad Night.
I really support these annual events in keeping children safe. You can donate to Douglas and Carson High schools' Safe Grad Nights too.
