HELP WE NEED
HELP WE NEED
We need everyone (non-senior students included) to help us set Grad Night up in the quad and commons. This is a multi-day adventure, with the bulk of the move being Fri 5/29-Sat 5/30, and the setup running from Sun 5/31-Fri 6/5, so you can surely find a day to give us an hour or two?
CALLING ALL PARENTS OF ALL GRADES! It's SRVHS tradition that parents of all grades help to staff Grad Night. If you only volunteer for one thing all year, you will want it to be this. You don't have to be cleared through "Be a Mentor," so any adult can help staff! Parents of all grades, out-of-town guests, and alumni welcome to help!
Please sign up to join the cleanup/tear-down crew! Anyone can help, everyone SHOULD help, and Class of 2027 REALLY needs this!

BE A MOTHER FLOCKER
BE A MOTHER FLOCKER
🦩Or a father flocker!🦩
Flocking is an important fundraiser for Grad Night; we need the income, and families LOVE to be flocked.
What's more, the flockers themselves are reporting that it's the funnest thing to volunteer for.
Please go to the Sign-Up Genius and pick a night. All the information you need is in the SUG. You'll be contacted by our flocking organizers directly, and you will know EXACTLY what to do.
And it'll be fun! It's a chance to be silly. We're too grown-up to sneak around, but this is a chance to sneak around! We're too adult to TP someone's house, but this is a chance to make people happy!

How to Pay it Forward: Roles for Parents of Different Grades
How to Pay it Forward: Roles for Parents of Different Grades
Not sure what to sign up for? There's an SRV tradition where parents of different grade levels play different roles in Grad Night.
We need help from parents of all grade levels. Many people assume that Grad Night is something only parents of seniors have to think about, but we need everyone. In fact, there's a whole pay-it-forward tradition for all parents.
Senior Parents
Senior Parents
Parents of graduating seniors do the heavy lifting by taking on the preparation (planning and building) that starts months prior to the event. If you have a senior, please sign up to help move the sets into the work site, and then later to help design, and finally to move the sets back. The good news is that after all the prep, you get the night of Grad Night itself off to entertain your visiting family.
Howeverrrrr, we would love your help on the night of the event, if you can make it!
Junior Parents
Junior Parents
Parents of juniors traditionally take shifts on Grad Night itself. These 3-4 hour shifts include staffing different activities, helping with food, working security or check-in or check-out, and more.
Here's how the “pay-it-forward” tradition works for Grad Night shifts:
JUNIOR PARENTS take the first shifts from 7:30 PM to 11:00 PM and/or help take down/clean up after, so they know where everything is for next year.
JUNIOR PARENTS are also encouraged to dip a toe in planning and building, so that they know how everything works for the following year, when Grad Night falls to them to plan.
Freshman & Sophomore Parents
Freshman & Sophomore Parents
Parents of freshmen and sophomores traditionally take shifts on Grad Night itself. These 3-4 hour shifts include staffing different activities, helping with food, working security or check-in or check-out, and more.
Here's how the “pay-it-forward” tradition works for Grad Night shifts:
FRESHMAN PARENTS stay up the latest. They traditionally take the shifts from 1:30 AM until the end, 5:00 AM.
SOPHOMORE PARENTS traditionally take the shifts from 10:30 PM until 2:00 AM.
That’s how you work your way through the rotation, knowing that when it’s your turn to be a “graduating parent,” your child can enjoy an elaborate and safe celebration while you tend to your out-of-town graduation guests. But that’s the tradition–it’s just a suggestion, and we’ll take any help we can get!
