Welcome to the JBHS Class of 2009 Project Graduation Website!
Dear Parents of the Class of 2009:
It is hard to believe that the time has finally come … much preparation has been given to this club but much more is definitely now needed.
The 2009 Booster Club’s sole purpose is to organize, fundraise, and host Project Graduation …
James Bowie High School (JBHS) Project Graduation is an all-night, chaperoned, substance-free celebration for the graduating seniors of JBHS. The purpose of this party is to congratulate the seniors for completing their high school curriculum as well as to provide a safe, enjoyable environment for these students on their graduation night. It is hoped that these young adults will carry into the future the message that a good time can be had without the use of drugs and alcohol.
Organization of this event takes many volunteers in order to have a very successful event for OUR graduating class of 2009!!
Membership is $25 per year per student, with all money going directly to Project Graduation. All students of “Platinum level (4 year membership) will receive FREE admission to Project Graduation. Otherwise, the fee to attend Project Graduation is $100.
Project Graduation is an expensive undertaking. The event costs approximately $30,000 and we currently have $14,000 in the account. In the past the event has been held at Austin Park and Pizza (approximate cost $8,000 - $15,000). Students meet at the high school and ride a bus to the event (transportation approx. $1,500). Decorations for the theme of the event and food cost about $2700. Then there are prizes. Everyone who attends will receive a door prize and other fabulous gifts that will be raffled off during the event with the total cost ranging from $7,500 to $10,000. Membership dues are our major source of funds. So, become a member today and become part of your child’s after graduation experience. The more members the less fundraising we have to do!
There are several ways you can volunteer with the Class of 2009 Booster Club. You can volunteer to work on a fundraising committee, attend our monthly board meeting (dates will be available at a later date), solicit donations for raffle prizes or purchase raffle items. You can also donate drinks and food for various fundraisers or help with set up and clean up of events, like Bulldogs & Hotdogs. You can even become an officer of the Booster club. There are many opportunities for you to become involved in. If you are not sure where you would like to help, but know that you just want to help, please sign up as a volunteer. The officers will find the right spot for you!
The Club will ensure that periodic information regarding 2009 Project Graduation (meeting dates, fundraising events and other pertinent information) is announced in, the Bowie Bulletin, bowieptsa.org, and our webpage, http://jbhs.org/clubsandorgs/class2009.htm (Please bookmark the website for further updates.)
