Dear parents of the students of the PHS Senior Class of 2015,
Your senior is invited to attend an awesome Drug and Alcohol Free All Night Grad Party following the Prairie High
School graduation on Thursday June 11th. This annual event, a celebration of their accomplishment, is organized by
parent volunteers, and is fully funded through fundraisers, donations, and ticket sales. The planning committee hopes
that you will encourage your graduate to attend this FUN and MEMORABLE evening. It may be their last chance
to spend time with many of their classmates. It is our hope that Running Start students will want to participate in this
party too!
The party is open to PHS 2015 graduates only at Big Al’s and is chaperoned by 1 parent for every 10 students, in addition
to employees of the facility and party planning company. The seniors are transported by bus from Battle Ground High
School after graduation (at about 10pm) and returned by bus to Prairie High School the next morning (around 5:30am.)

in all the fun of the night!

these clothes before being transported to Big Al’s. No bags, purses or backpacks or bottles of any kind will be allowed on
the bus. In order to keep the party safe for all , student cell phones are not allowed. Students will be checking in their
cell phones, wallets/purses and keys after the graduation ceremony on June 11th. Each bag containing the student’s
belongings will be labeled and transported to Big Al’s. Any non-approved items will be bagged, labeled, stored, and
