Smooth Sailing for Project Graduation!

On behalf of the Class of 2010 and the Project Graduation Committee,  I would like to acknowledge and thank the following people for their participation:
Mr. Mullen
Mr. Burke
Mr. Nielsen
Mr. Morris
Joann and Biff Brady
Ann and Peter Sawchuck
Jennie and Jim Gwilym
Brian McDonough
Gina Day

The evening went smoothly due, in large part, to their contribution.  Whether it was running the trivia game, keeping a head count, handing out gift bags or simply being available to the grads with direction and support, their participation ensured the event would be a success.

Thank you for your generosity, your time and the wonderful spirit you brought to the event. 

And to my fellow Project Graduation Committee Members, 
Congratulations and Thank you!

After watching the kids tumble from the buses in the morning, it was clear everyone was exhausted but happy.

Here's a sample of what I heard from a group of grads after the event:

The Spirit of Boston ship was "sweet"
The buffet was "okay," the fresh fruit "went fast"
The DJ was "sick" 
The snack bags were "amazing"  and  "sooo good"
The dance floor was "packed"
The hypnotist was "awesome"
The casino was a "nice break from the dancing"
The DVD was "fun" and the trivia game was "good because it passed the time away"
The fleece blankets "made great pillows"

Once again, my heartfelt thanks for lending your time, talents, resources and energy to creating a memorable event for our kids.

With appreciation,
Nancy Rockefeller, Chair



My son Matthew had a wonderful time last night. Thank you to you and the Committee for all you did!

Just want to say thank you for all your hard work and attention to detail!  Brittany had a wonderful time!!  You and your team of hard working parents made this a special Project Graduation.   The CD, although a tear jerker, is a wonderful keepsake as well as the blanket.  Thanks again!

Nice job Nancy!!!  Would never have happened if not for your persistent energy and effort!
No doubt the last 2 weeks (let alone the past 6 months) had their frustrations.....ups and downs.  It was a great reward to watch the kids come off of the bus....several were thanking parents as the walked out (in a daze).  They get it.....and appreciate the gift.

I heard they had a wonderful time.

Thank You so much for the amazing job you did putting the Proj Grad program together along with all your volunteers - as it turned out I never did get that  involved in all the work- I am not surprised with how well it all turned out - CHS parents pull together and do amazing work!-

My daughter was exhausted when I picked her up this morning - she had a great time!! - I plan to put a note together for you and all of your committee workers very soon - Congratulations to your son also - I thought the Mass, the Baccalaureate celebration , and the Graduation ceremony which were arranged for these graduates were wonderful - thanks again - AM DuBois

The video is excellent!!!  Thank you so much for making this so special for the kids...mine is sound asleep right now, so I imagine the night was a success!!!
Congrats to all...and thank you to all of you...
