Flamingos are invading Parsippany

Have you noticed flocks of pink flamingos are appearing all over town?  They are only here for three weeks and all for a good cause.  Flocks of Flamingos are being sent by residents to help support Parsippany Hills High School Project Graduation.  For over 25 years, our community has planned an all-night, substance-free party for PHS and PHHS graduates. Statistically, graduation night has the highest number of vehicle accidents among seniors nationwide but schools with Project Graduation have statistics that are significantly less. The goal is to keep every Parsippany graduating senior safe on graduation night.  Activities planned include tennis, volleyball,  basketball, swimming, hot tubs and other fun events.   Entertainment provided will include a DJ and, funds permitting, other interactive activities such as bouncy boxing or bungee run, along with a constant supply of food and beverages  throughout the evening. As always, adult volunteers will chaperone.   Project Graduation is being planned to ensure a fun and safe evening for all 2012 graduates.     It is only through the generosity of parents, townspeople and the Parsippany business community and many other generous businesses surrounding Parsippany that we have been able keep the cost affordable.   Typically, the cost per student is about  $125.  Students pay a portion and the rest is raised from the community.  The flamingos are fun way to help.  For just a $20 donation send your friends or neighbors a flock for the day!  Flamingos fly in under the cover of night and are waiting as a morning surprise.  The next night, they will migrate elsewhere and find a new home.  Visit www.phhsprojectgrad.com to order a flock or other support of Project Graduation.
