Dear Editor:
According to history, the idea for Grad Night originated more than 30 years ago in Valencia, California after a graduating senior from Valencia High School tragically died in an alcohol-related driving accident. Grad night evolved from the idea that graduates, on the night of their graduation, need to be kept away from alcohol, cars and the fateful twists that can bring them together.
Gilroy High School has successfully accomplished this goal for the last 15 years. In order to reach this goal we rely solely upon the cooperation and unending dedication of our parents, friends, businesses and community as a whole.
Since mid-summer we have witnessed this effort being put forth and thought of an affordable way our entire community could become involved. Even though we are teenagers, we are aware of our economic times and that is why we are respectfully asking that every person in every household donate $1 for Grad Night 2004. If you and your family would like to become involved, your deeply appreciated donations can be sent to:
GHS GRAD NIGHT 2004
P.O. Box 545
Gilroy, CA 95021-0545
On behalf of the Class of 2004 we want to express our sincerest appreciation for what our parents, business community and friends have done already to make this a safe and memorable occasion. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Bria DeLorenzo, Cydney Fong, Raquel Butler and the GHS Class of 2004, Gilroy
