Greeting from the Class of 2018 Project Graduation Committee!
Project Graduation is a chemical free celebration of graduating seniors on the night of graduation. Each year, the parent committee raises close to $20,000 to provide an amazing night of safe fun for the graduates. The committee had donated an amazing package to help with our fundraising efforts. It is an orthodontic braces package from Dr. Podhouser in Scarborough valued at $6,000. Our starting bid for the package is $2250 or best offer.
