The INDEPENDENT, March 6, 2003____________
Fundraising underway for annual
Drug/Alcohol-Free All-Night party
For the past 20 years, par
ents of Vernonia seniors have
provided a Drug and Alcohol
Free All-Night Party for gradu
ates after the graduation cere
mony. The tradition began to
provide a fun and safe environ
ment to celebrate on gradua
tion night, and in those 20
years, there has never been an
injury to a VHS graduate. One
goal is to provide each student
with a souvenir and reminder
of a fun, safe and memorable
evening. This year, the party
will be June 8, 2003.
Donations of any kind, such
as
m erchandise,
service
coupons, gift certificates, T-
shirts, sweatshirts, hats or cash
to purchase additional prizes
and to offset the cost of the par
ty are necessary. All donations
are welcome and are greatly
appreciated. Donations must
be received no later than June
5.
Checks should be made
payable to VHS Grad Night
Party and be mailed to Susan
Robertson,
Vernonia
High
School, 299 Bridge Street, Ver
nonia, OR 97064.
For more information, call
Susan Robertson at 503-429-
4901, Judy King at 503-429-
9019 or Robin Murphy at 503-
429-4101.

You can tell that spring is just around the corner when students grab shovels and rakes, in
stead of bats, and start preparing the baseball fields at Vernonia High School. Above, stu

Correction
In a February 20 article
about Vernonia students who

ary education, one name
was misspelled.
Kayla Hennessey was
named to the Western Ore
gon University Honor Roll for
the 2002 fall quarter.
We are pleased to set the
record straight.
