Dear Editor,
I live in another state but I had a relative who graduated from high school on June 16. I had heard of the Grad Night celebration, and because all of my family members were going to be working at it, I told them to sign me up for a shift as well. I saw the preparation the day before and was very impressed with the amount of time and effort that the volunteers dedicated to making this event a great experience for the seniors.
I later spent more than three hours at the school during the height of the celebration. The variety of activities, food and decorations was absolutely amazing. The kids all seemed to be enjoying themselves, and I was also appreciative of the amount of security on hand to make sure that the event produced only happy memories.
None of the people I worked with knew me, of course, but they were all very friendly and cheerful as we went about our business. I can easily imagine the kind of quality young people who would be raised by parents like them.
I have a pretty good understanding of what it took to pull this celebration off, and I just wanted to write and congratulate the community for this outstanding effort. I hope that despite the splitting of the school, this worthwhile tradition will be continued for many years to come.
Sincere thanks on behalf of my family and myself.
Kimberly Quintero
