When senior Mia Spano thinks about the Senior All Night Party, she said she believes the party is a good way to bring the seniors together one final time.

According to Spano, the Senior All Night Party will take place directly following graduation on May 25.

“The party really shows that we are a community and united and we all like to have one last hoorah before we all go our separate ways,” Spano said.

According to food chair of the Senior All Night Party Leah Lamon, the party not only provides a chance for the seniors to relax, but also gives parents security knowing their child is having fun under supervision by chaperones.

“There is a couple of reasons (the Senior All Night Party is important). For the graduating seniors, it is one last time to be together and unwind and blow off steam after the intensity of their senior year,” Lamon said. “I will say as a parent, it is nice for the parents to know that on the night of graduation their kids are together and in a safe place.”

Michele Neudecker, chair of the Senior All Night Party committee, said the class of 2017 will be able to participate in a wide range of activities throughout the night.

“We want to keep some of them a secret, but there are going to be many activities from athletic activities like skating and broomball to some comedy shows and some obstacle course things,” Neudecker said. “There will be lots of games and activities throughout the night, along with food and prizes and drinks.”

According to Lamon, the party cost $75 to attend.

“The ticket is $75. I know it sounds like a lot, but there is a lot that you can get for that in terms of entertainment and food and prizes.” Lamon said. “It is important to say that there are scholarships are available. If money is an issue, (seniors) should be in touch with the office and the office can facilitate the scholarship to attend. We want as many kids to come as possible.”

Senior Reed Stack-Vanasse said although the ticket is expensive, the school can make accommodations for those without the means to pay.

“I personally think (the cost of the ticket) is a bit pricey, but this is not as much of a problem for me because I was able to get it reduced. It is just because I am qualified for free and reduced lunch and I contacted the school supervisor and principal,” Stack-Vanasse said.

According to Stack-Vanasse, he was proactive in getting these accommodations.

“(The school) did not really say anything to me. I had to pursue (getting a reduction) by myself, so I do not think a lot of people (are aware) of this option,” Stack-Vanasse said.

Neudecker said in addition to scholarships, there are fundraisers to collect donations for students who can not afford tickets.

“We have had fundraisers throughout the year and now with the year winding down we have two (fundraisers) left that we can ramp up and hopefully get more donations from the community so it is possible for all the students to come if they choose to,” Neudecker said.

Spano said increasing the amount of information about the reductions offered for tickets would be beneficial.

“I think the school could do better, but what they do now is pretty good. I just think that more announcement and more flyers and sending things home (about scholarship options) could be helpful as well,” Spano said.
