Project Graduation

 

Parents of seniors in the Class of 2013 are urged to purchase a ticket for their graduate to attend Dominion High School's all-night, drug and alcohol-free graduation party, which will be held at the school on Sunday, June 9th from 11pm to 5am. The cost of a ticket is $40. Forms are available in the Senior Class Information packet which can be found prominently at www.dominionhigh.com.

PROJECT GRADUATION NEEDS YOU

We have almost 120 kids signed up for Project Graduation this coming weekend! We are in desperate need of 20 plus more volunteers to work the night of the event to help with games, food, security, and more, and a few more volunteers for set up.

The party is overnight on Sunday after graduation (starts at 11pm and ends at 5am)  We understand this is challenging since so many people need to work on Monday, but we need more adults so PLEASE consider volunteering.

SENIOR PARENTS we know this is a busy time, but let us know if you can help. We can also use more donations of gift cards that you can send into school, attn.: PG.

To sign up to volunteer, please go to www.SignUpGenius.com/go/4090945AAAE2A1-volunteers

Questions? send an email to Jodi at Jodi_peterson@verizon.net or to Colleen at hoenes4@verizon.net

Thanks!

A note from our ATLAS President:

ATLAS Members -

2013 is quickly wrapping up and many great events are still scheduled at DHS.  Please check out the ATLAS website www.dominionhigh.com to see the latest.  Two big things include:  Project Graduation (senior parents encourage your Titans to attend our alcohol free all night grad party and non-Senior parents what a great way to pay it forward - hint, we need help that day/night!) and the activities surrounding graduation including the Senior Awards Ceremony this coming Friday.   Through your support, ATLAS will once again be giving (5) $1000 scholarships to deserving seniors. 

As we close 2013, we have many things to be thankful for and many people to thank.....I can't begin to name everyone so TO ALL of you who worked: Titan Cafe, Project Graduation, Concessions, TITAN Golf Classic, Hospitality, Fundraising, BOPS, TABC, DECA, our many Activity Groups/Clubs, New Beginnings, No Sale Yard Sale, brought stuff to school, donated much needed time, money , or energy.....THANK YOU.  I am honored our paths have crossed, and it's been a pleasure getting to know you all.  You have made a difference in our young people's lives, and trust me, they realize it!! 

I've been privileged to lead this thing called ATLAS for the last few years.  I've had great mentors in those who have come before me (Laurie Stefanelli - rocks it), and hopefully have left an organization that took positive strides that Tracy Kamis (our new ATLAS President) will continue to build upon.  My board - simply was amazing in doing all the things that needed to get done and we really were a TEAM - Robin Mong, Tracey Kamis, Carolyn Renick, Lori Waters, Kathy Gibbs, Hosai Ghani, and Hahn Wolsky.  You ladies mean the world to me, thanks for two wonderful years.   We all do it for one reason - OUR STUDENTS.  Sometimes its not even our kids, but those STUDENTS that need resources that you as ATLAS members, helpers, volunteers provide.  Dr. Brewer, Ms. Ronlov, Mr. Fleming, Mr. Shea, and Mrs. Beltrane and all the staff, teachers, and administration at DHS - THANK YOU.  We are blessed to have each of you making positive impact on our kids daily.  While not always a smooth ride, in the end, the positives far outweigh the negatives.  Your influence on our students will be felt for years to come!!!

I'm off to run our Titan Athletic Booster Club (TABC).  So if you are passionate about TITAN ATHLETICS and want to be involved with some new projects, new fundraising activities, and new direction - - hit me up. 

All the best and thanks for a great two years serving ATLAS and TITAN TERRITORY!!
