What is it?

"Project Graduation" is a special event in Marion County that you, as a parent of a student graduating in the Class of 2010, can support in a number of special ways. For over 20 years, "Project Graduation" has served a valuable purpose not only providing an all-night, adult-supervised evening of drug and alcohol free fun to Marion County graduates, but also offering a special evening to those who have experienced it. Nearly 5000 students have participated in "Project Graduation" since its inception. Last year was a tremendous success and nearly all the students stayed for the entire evening of activities!

It is a proven way to provide graduates of Marion County High Schools with an alternative to traditional drinking celebration on this special night in their lives.

In addition, this party gives our county an opportunity to express, "We are Proud of You!" Marion County Project Graduation is not a school sponsored function but a coordinated effort by students, school personnel, businesses, service clubs and churches in cooperation with Marion County Parks and Recreation.



WHY IS PROJECT GRADUATION IMPORTANT?

All segments of the community pitch in to make a great evening for the graduates. Adults may also make new friends at Project Graduation.

Parents benefit since:

* The seniors don't drink.
* The seniors don't drive.
* Parents know where their children are.
* The seniors are supervised.

And, beyond the graduation event, parents may begin to consider how the community can provide other drug-free social activities for youth throughout the year.
