Working toward a senior celebration

A small, mighty crew of parents is preparing an unforgettable experience for Sisters High School graduating seniors — and they are seeking community help to make it happen.

The Foundation is seeking tax-deductible contributions to ensure that graduation festivities are free and accessible to all graduating seniors. The fundraising drive is timed around “Giving Tuesday” on December 3.

The estimated cost for this year’s festivities is $25,000. Funds raised will allow the Foundation to cover a variety of expenses, including:

• A day-long field trip to Washington Family Ranch, which offers waterslides and pool fun, recreational facilities, and great spaces for safe, sober and authentic fun.

• Chaperone entry fees and professional staffing requirements, including six paid lifeguards and one nurse/paramedic.

• Field-trip insurance, plus bus transportation and two meals.

• Goodies and gifts for our graduates on the day of the field trip .

• Various other graduation week festivities, prizes, and raffle items.

The cost per student to attend the field trip is a minimum of $175.

According to the Foundation, they have already made significant deposits for these events and will continue planning for a week of activities, requiring ongoing payments and costs. Anyone wishing to contribute their tax-deductible donations can do so online at https://sh2gpf.betterworld.org/. Or, send a check to: Sisters School Foundation, PO Box 2155, Sisters, OR 97759.

Include “Class of 2025” in the memo line.
