ALL NIGHT GRAD PARTY!!
June 12, 2020
May 11, 2020
Dear Senior Parents,
We find ourselves in unprecedented times. On April 23rd, SHS Principal Hennig announced that given the unknowns and concerns around social distancing guidelines, that the June 12th SHS Graduation Ceremony will be held virtually at 6pm instead of in person at T-Mobile Park. He also announced that they are hopeful that by July, the social distancing guidelines will allow for another festive, in-person graduation event at the high school stadium for graduates to pick up their diplomas. The school and Grad Event Committee are optimistic that our 2020 graduates will then be getting two memorable graduation events, one virtually in June and possibly another in-person in July.
With that in mind, the All-Night Graduation Party Committee decided to follow SHS’s lead and move the All-Night Grad Party to the night of the July SHS graduation event. Your All-Night Grad Party Committee continues to be optimistic, motivated, and enthusiastic to throw our Class of 2020 the best All Night Grad Party possible in July.
If circumstances prevent the July in-person SHS graduation event from taking place, then the party will be cancelled. We should have a better idea of the social distancing guidelines and viability of the July party in early June.
The Grad Event Committee has received questions about refunds. Unfortunately, at this time, we are not able to provide refunds.
We have received notice from the contracted event management company, Grad Nights, that they are being forced into Chapter 11. Grad Nights simply does not have the funds available to provide a refund. The funds paid to date have covered Grad Nights overhead thus far, and deposits to the various venues, which also don’t have the cashflow to refund payments. SHS Grad Events has used Grad Nights for many years, as have many of our neighboring schools, and despite our losses this year, we hope this small family run company survives their restructuring under Chapter 11 so they can to continue offering all-night graduation party services to our community in future years. Although Grad Nights is facing Chapter 11, and not able to provide cash refunds, they are still willing to work with us to plan a party in July.
IF the party is cancelled altogether, we will review our situation with Grad Nights and send out a communication in early August with where we stand in the restitution process.
We want our seniors to have this fun, safe night. We also need to be prepared. This is not the position we were hoping to be in, but we are still grateful and will get through it. In the meantime, fingers crossed for a Walk Event in July, following by a super fun All Night Grad Party. Stay positive, healthy, and keep cherishing your family, and celebrating your senior!
Thank you for your understanding.
