Monta Vista needs funds for its all-night party
Monta Vista High School volunteers are asking the community for help in putting on the annual Senior All Night Party.
The party is designed to keep seniors safe and sound on graduation night by giving them a place to celebrate with their friends.
Although the seniors purchase tickets to attend the parties, the cost of hosting them is more than students could afford. So volunteers are asking the community to donate funds or prizes for the evening.
Businesses and individuals are invited to sponsor game booths, entertainment, or donate food, plants, or gift items to be used as prizes. Products and services are appreciated. Donations are tax deductible.
Checks should be made out to Monta Vista SANP, and sent to Monta Vista SANP, 21840 McClellan Rd., Cupertino, 95014. For more information call 408/343-1180.
