PictureLahainaluna Project Grad Class of 2017


            March’s PTA Spotlight is:
      Lahainaluna High School PTSA


The Lahainaluna High School PTSA proudly hosts a very successful Project Graduation each year, with an average attendance rate of 80% graduates participating. Project Grad is a safe, drug-free, alcohol-free overnight event, celebrating this important milestone in a student’s life. This nation-wide movement was started to ensure the safety of graduates on a traditionally high-risk day.
 
To ensure their remarkable attendance rates, the Lahainaluna PTSA works hard to keep the cost per student affordable to all. To do this, they subsidize the cost of attendance per student by 50-85%, depending on how early the students sign up, as well as fully covering the cost of students in need. (Students signed up by 11/30 pay only $30!) While some funding comes through participation fees and a local county grant, the primary fundraiser if an annual community golf tournament, which raises on average $20,000.
 
Congratulations Lahainaluna PTSA on hosting an ongoing successful event that engages families and community, while providing a safe environment to recognize your students.
