Project Graduation
On graduation night, all seniors are involved to a drug and alcohol free event at Brian Bellows High School. This is a great time for all of the students to get to share one last evening with their classmates. The program does require a substantial amount of money to be raised to pay for the event. All senior parents are encouraged to help. There is a form online too that can be used to pay for your student to attend. Any adult can donate to this fund as an individual or as a business. The donations help to ensure that our senior class will be having fund, but not out there on the streets graduation night.
