Seven Lakes High School Project Prom 2012

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 $60 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 free 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 19, 2012. Check-in for Project Prom begins Sunday, May 20, 2012 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? . . . Fun Plex; 13700 Beechnut Street, Houston, TX 77083 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 2012 Fund is used towards the Project Prom event. Funding for the 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. How do I find out more about Project Prom?
