Granby Parents for a Safe Graduation (GPSG), an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, organizes a substance-free Grad Night celebration for Granby Memorial High School (GMHS) graduates. Full swing planning for this fun-filled event is happening now!
GPSG will hold a fundraiser at Jersey Mike’s in Simsbury on April 29. A portion of its sales from 5 – 9 p.m. will go toward the Grad Night celebration.
Spring is in the air, which means the flamingos are coming! Want to send a frolicking flock to grace your friends’ front yard? GPSG will surprise them with a “flocking” for a $25 donation. Email granbyparentssafegrad@gmail.com for more details or to order your flocking!
The party, held graduation night, June 7, absolutely cannot happen without volunteers! Volunteers are needed for planning, day-of-event preparation, and chaperoning the party itself. The event is typically chaperoned by underclass parents —NO senior parents allowed —so it is important for new volunteers to step up each year. To learn more, email granbyparentssafegrad@gmail.com
GPSG is also collecting contributions for raffle prizes. Through the generosity of local businesses and community members, each student goes home with a prize. If you would like to donate to the raffle, GPSG recommends gift cards for grocery stores, gas stations, Amazon, Door Dash/Grub Hub, Visa — remember that Granby students’ post-graduation plans take them across the country and sometimes the world.
Cash donations to fund the party are always welcome. To make a donation, please send your check payable to “Granby Parents for a Safe Graduation” and send to Attn: Treasurer, PO Box 81, Granby, CT 06035.
The GPSG Committee meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Farmington Valley YMCA (except during school vacations). Stay up-to-date by following the GPSG Facebook page: facebook.com/granbyctsafegrad.
