Party in Paradise - Senior Graduation Party

We are looking for parent / guardian volunteers for the Senior graduation party! Senior Parents are not obligated to plan or work the grad party. It is our philosophy at MHS that as a parent, you should be able to focus on family, company and your child the night of graduation. If a senior parent WANTS to work the party or help in planning, great, but WE RELY ON FROSH, SOPHOMORE, AND JUNIOR PARENTS TO DO THE BULK OF THE WORK. This gives you a "free" graduation night if you choose! So, if you're child is NOT graduating, this is when we need you!
