BLAST HELP NEEDED

1) We need your support to keep our kids safe on Prom night! We are in desperate need of additional volunteers for all areas of the HHS BLAST (Decorations, Set-up, Clean-up). However, most pressing, we need chaperones, Blackjack/Poker dealers and casino game staff. This is a very popular part of the BLAST, and we need your help to keep it going. If you can help with any of these functions, please contact Anthony DeVice (610-209-2543, Ant0219@comcast.net). Can’t help with the BLAST? That’s okay, there are other ways to contribute.

What is the BLAST.? The BLAST was initiated to provide security and peace of mind for graduates, parents, neighbors, and community members by providing our students with an opportunity to celebrate their milestone in a fun, safe, alcohol and drug-free environment. Check out the HHS BLAST Video to hear about the BLAST and its impact on our students.

As past parents have done it for us, it’s our turn to “pay it forward” for current and future classes at HHS! If you have any questions, please contact Anthony DeVice or Celeste Starankovic. We appreciate all your support!
