Intro - Project Prom

Introduction to Project Prom

Project Prom is a gift to graduating seniors given by senior parents, not the school or school
district. The cost for each student is approximately $150 to $200, however students only pay $50
for their ticket. This is the reason we live and die by our fundraising efforts. If your child will be
attending this event, please contact a board member (click "committees" tab) to find out how you
can become involved in the process today!

What exactly is Project Prom? Project Prom is a drug and alcohol free lock-in celebration. This
is a fun-filled evening for all seniors. We, the senior parents, provide this all night party. It
requires vast amounts of organization, planning, time, money and parental participation in order
for it to be a success.

Who attends Project Prom? All Seven Lakes High School seniors and their dates are welcomed
at Project Prom, regardless if they attend the Prom or not. Historically, the Katy ISD Project Prom
/ Project Grad celebrations have been well attended with approximately 75% of the seniors from
each school participating.

When is Project Prom? Project Prom takes place immediately after Prom ends on
Saturday, May 21, 2011. Check-in for Project Prom begins Sunday, May 22, 2011 from
approximately 12:00am through 1:30am (times subject to change) in the SLHS Rotunda. Parents
of seniors who have purchased a ticket but have not arrived by the close of check-in will be
contacted immediately thereafter. Students who have not arrived by close of check-in period will
not make the buses and will be left behind.

Where will Project Prom be held? The venue for Project Prom 2011 venue has not been
selected at this time. Previous years have hosted the event at Times Square and Dave & Buster's.

How is Project Prom funded? Class monies raised beginning freshman year and continuing
through the senior year fund the Prom and other class activities. None of the money raised for the
Class of 2011 Fund is used towards the Project Prom event.

Funding for the 2011 Project Prom event comes from fundraising and donations raised solely
during the senior year. Fundraising and donations (both from businesses and parents) are vital to
the success of Project Prom. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, a booster club, and
begin our venture with only the money left over from the previous year or from Class Fund
donations from the previous graduating class. We will need to raise a sizeable amount of money
to cover the use of the venue, entertainment, games, senior gifts, prizes, food, transportation,
security and other incidentals.

How can you help? Your involvement is extremely important. There are many ways parents can
help and no job is too small. Take a look at the various "committees" and see where you would
like to help. Even if you cannot commit the time to serve on a committee, your participation in the
fundraisers is just as important to making this night a success for our seniors. Businesses can
make tax deductible donations and corporate matching is encouraged - BP Fabric of America and
Schlumberger forms are provided however, other corporations also have matching programs.
Please check with your employer for more information and details. We have a great group of
senior volunteer parents and we are going to have a wonderful Project Prom. Don't miss out on
this opportunity to be involved in your senior's BIG NIGHT.
