Senior All Night Party in best interest
Seniors ultimately safer
May 4, 2018
For many high school seniors, graduation is one of the most exciting days of their lives thus far.
It is the culmination of four years of slogging through tedious schoolwork and exhaustive social norms.
As you might expect, this translates to graduation being the perfect excuse to let loose and go crazy to celebrate the end of a seemingly never-ending high school career.
For eighteen-year-olds in this country, however, partying often is not simply limited to listening to loud music and playing group games. According to Project Know, nearly three of every five high school seniors in the United States admitted to drinking alcohol at some point during their final year of high school.
In Minnesota, 48 percent of seniors claimed they had consumed alcohol in the last 30 days alone.
With such high proportions, paired with the dangerous effects of alcohol on underage consumers, it is clear that an occasion such as graduation presents a risk to parents and administrators of Park students.
For this reason, the Senior All Night Party is a great way for students to celebrate their achievement.
One issue many have cited about the party is the high ticket price. However, as a result of the plethora of fundraising efforts by engaged parents and students, there is sufficient financial relief for any student who would otherwise be prevented from attending because of a lack of financial resources.
With this in mind, the Senior All Night Party is a perfect solution to the issue of binge-drinking after graduation. Seniors get to attend an inclusive party with all of their classmates to cap off their high school experience, and parents do not have to worry about their children over consuming alcohol.
Students have the opportunity for an extremely fun night that proves to be affordable, without the pressure of consuming illicit and potentially lethal substances.
