A Night at the Tropics ~ 8th Grade Banquet Update
The 8th Grade Banquet, “A Night at the Tropics”, will be held at the enVision Hotel in Mansfield on June 17th 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm! Families are welcomed until 6:30 for pictures in the Lobby / Courtyard. At 6:30, families will depart and students will be directed to the banquet room.
Please remember that "A Night at the Tropics" is a casual tropical-island themed celebration. Students should be dropped off and picked up by a responsible, known, adult. No limos or hired car services (Uber, Lyft, etc.) should be used to transport students to and from the event. Your adherence to this request is greatly appreciated.
Permissions slips will be available in the next week and will require the contact information for a local, responsible adult who will remain available the entire duration of the event should it be necessary to reach one. Additional information will be shared with 8th grade families in the coming weeks.
We're grateful that we're able to hold the event off of school ground, but it does come at a much larger cost and we appreciate all of the financial support we can get. In years past, the event has cost $3,000 and will be close to $10,000 this year. We're looking for donations of tropical decorations from our 8th Grade Banquet Amazon Wishlist. Feel free to share this link with friends and family who may wish to purchase decorations for the event. General donations to the banquet can be made through the Unfundraiser by including "8th Grade Banquet" in the comment section. Thank you to those who have contributed already.
