We need to have them specify it is for their LAGOON TICKET and not for donations.
Lagoon will be sending out our tickets about 3-4 weeks in advance. We need to get the kids to help advertise because we want lots of kids to be able to go. They can do this through social media, word of mouth, even some posters throughout the school.
Food venues will be open throughout the park but we will also have an area where they can bring food. We, as parents/chaperones, will be there to stay with their stuff and also be there incase of any emergencies or if the kids need a source of contact.
If you or your student has a season pass to Lagoon, you need to check with Lagoon if they will honor it due to the fact it is a “student day” for students only and the tickets are at a discounted rate. I left a message with Lagoon but I have not heard back. If you need the bus pass only it will be $10.
Donations: We need help with reaching out to people and businesses!!!! Does anyone have any updates? If anyone has any connections please let us know so we can reach out. Our breakfast options and raffle prizes depend on what we can afford. We need to start collecting as soon as possible.
Checks can be made out to - HHS Senior Class of 2021 and or Taylor Shipley /Brooke McMinn

We need baby pictures!!!
We have Chloe Stoddart doing our senior class video. All senior pictures have been received but we would like baby pictures to add to it. Please submit their baby pictures with their names and include any fun student body videos or pictures. We realize that there were not a lot of opportunities for these types of pictures or videos but if you have something along this line, please send it.
Please submit pictures to:
Jpeg, gif, png all will work
We had the opportunity to speak to administration and get approved to make sure we would be able to continue with our breakfast in the cafeteria at Highland. Would anyone like to be in charge of decorations or know of any options regarding table cloths or other fun ideas? We need volunteers to help with decorating and set up and take down along with serving food and helping with the raffle. Please let me know what you would like to help with.
Raffle: We will be doing a raffle for the students. This is usually done at the all Night Party but, since we are doing Lagoon, we want to make this happen at the breakfast. We need to try and get as many gifts donated as we possibly can. Gift cards, actual gifts, or services are great examples of things we need.
Please know that our biggest need is for donations and raffle prizes. We welcome any support, or fun ideas.
