So you’ve just received your high-school diploma. College is likely a few months away. What are you doing up at 6 am, and back at your alma mater? Actually – the West Seattle High School Class of 2010 grads who streamed somewhat sleepily off buses in the dawn’s early light today were finishing up another successful Grad Night. All year long (here’s our story from the kickoff last July), there were car washes, bake sales, book sales, all manner of fundraisers, and tons of volunteer work put in to make it happen. Here’s organizer Carol Viger, who explains some of what the grads were up to – and the special significance of this year:
All that fun, by the way, happened at locations kept secret ahead of time – to add to the excitement. But Grad Night’s overarching goal is to provide a good time without grads getting into life-risking trouble while celebrating on their own – and so far, Carol says, it’s achieved that goal for about 1,000 teens!
