Message from the Principal

Hello parents,

May is upon us and so is the busy season as we march steadily towards promotion, graduation and the end of the year. It is our goal that you are aware of each culminating event for clubs, activities, etc. and to continue to recognize the outstanding students and staff that grace our hallways each day.

This week's newsletter features some standout students including scholarship winning artists, athletes gaining acclaim in the press, and tireless workers who achieve much in the area of academics. We've included some district-level announcements and a brand-new Have You Herd episode.

Please be sure to check each out in turn! Have a wonderful weekend!

Keep Love Present,

Dr. Vivadelli

Project Graduation

Project Graduation is a safe and free night of fun for our graduates. It has been a part of Woodbury High School for many years. For the last six years Project Graduation has been held at Rastelli’s Sports & More in Deptford, NJ.

The night of graduation, our graduates return to the high school approximately 9pm. The students and parent volunteer chaperones are bused to the venue. For the next 3-4 hours the graduates enjoy many activities such as a photo booth, basketball, swimming, Gaga Ball, volley ball, Tether ball and a live DJ. Food is provided for all graduates at the venue. In years past, we raised enough funds to give participating graduates a small gift of a Wawa gift card and a Project Graduation t-shirt. At approximately 1:30 am. the students and volunteers are bussed back to the high school.

All costs, including transportation to and from the venue, are covered through fundraising efforts and donations.

The 2018-2019 Project Graduation Committee consists of only 9 parent volunteers. Fundraising has been particularly challenging this year. Our efforts have not raised as much money as we have hoped for at this point. Having so few volunteers makes it difficult to raise the needed funds.

We need your help! It doesn’t matter if your child is in elementary school, 6th, 7th, 8th grade or in the high school. Please join us at our next meeting. If we don’t get more volunteers, we fear there will be no Project Graduation for our graduates this year.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact:

Sincerely,

Project Graduation Committee
