2017 SENIOR ALL NIGHT PARTY!!!

June of 2017 will be the 36th year that parent volunteers have organized the Forest Lake all-night party as an exciting, safe, fun, chemical-free alternative for graduating seniors.  

We strive to get as many Senior graduates to attend as possible! Approximately 2/3 of each graduating class attends. The success of this annual party hinges on the dedicated effort of many, many volunteers.  We are in need of more parent volunteers to assist with the planning committee efforts in order to make this year's event a tremendous success. 

The all night party provides many fun activities including Casino night, DJ dancing, Coffee Shop, Henna tattoos, Crazy hair, Swimming pool games, ping-pong, pool, basketball, photos, and fantastic food and prizes, mainly donated by the community.

Please contact Dave Johnson at dmj@umn.edu or 651-605-5508 or email the committee at flseniorparty@gmail.com.   Please consider volunteering!! We appreciate any help you would be willing to provide.

Volunteer information for the night of the party

Reminder that the Senior All Night Party is held at Southwest Junior High.  Volunteers should enter the building near the pool (door #6) to sign-in.




Students will be parking at Southwest Junior High before graduation, and will be transported to and from the high school by bus for the graduation ceremony. The parking lot may be very busy and volunteers may need to park on the street near the school.  You may want to carpool with other volunteers to Southwest Junior High for your work shift. 




We are still HAPPILY accepting volunteers, particularly anyone interested in assisting with Security.  Please encourage friends and family to sign-up!


You may register for a volunteer shift on our Sign-Up Genius page.




THANK YOU!

We need more volunteers!

The good news is, we are just THREE DAYS AWAY from putting on a safe, fun event for our graduating seniors. The bad news is, we still need more volunteers!

This party does not happen without MONTHS of planning from several dedicated parents. Please consider signing up for a short shift the night of the party on our Sign-Up Genius page.

Our biggest needs are in the areas of kitchen help and security

PARENTS OF UNDERCLASSMEN ENCOURAGED TO VOLUNTEER!

We encourage you to sign up with another (adult) family member like aunts, uncles and grandparents.

Parents of UNDERCLASSMEN

If you are a parent, friend or neighbor of an underclassman, we strongly encourage you to volunteer for this years party.

Once your child is in their senior year, you will find yourself with several other obligations.  Volunteering as the parent of an underclassmen also gives you the opportunity to see what the party is all about so you can encourage your child (and their friends) to attend in their senior year.


To sign up for a volunteer shift, visit us on Sign-Up Genius or email us at flseniorparty@gmail.com if you have any questions at all.
