The Post-Grad Party is a night of food, festivities and friendship for all who attend. The evening began with a comedy-hypnotist show involving BHS graduates. The hypnotist according to Jenna Perlmutter “was very cool, he made the students dance, immobilized students and had the hypnotized students think that they were aliens and other crazy things”. Their classmates had a lot of laughs.
Once the show was over at 1:00 AM, the Best Buy team had set up a wall of TV’s with video games ready to play. The entertainment continued throughout the evening with activities that appealed to everyone. Another favorite activity of the evening was the sumo wrestling which a lot of students reported was the highlight of the evening. (Enclosed picture of Jenna Perlmutter and Haley Vercollini)
The Spiritual Medium was new to the program this year and will be invited back next year. The students enjoyed sharing their readings with their classmates and gave them lots to discuss. Magic was performed throughout the evening by a magician. The caricature drawings and the picture booth was in high demand as it was a nice memento for the kids to have of their friends throughout the night.
The DJ kept the night going as their music made the students want to get up and dance especially when they were feeling tired..
There was no shortage of food throughout the evening. Pizza, Calzones, Slush and Ice-cream kept the student’s appetites satisfied. At 2:15 am, the B.good food truck drove up to the entrance, opened the windows and served chocolate shakes. This was a refreshing hit.
When the graduates left at 5 a.m., they took with them a prize (ranging from Red Sox tickets, refrigerator, microwave, comforter set, luggage, and more), a memory book , their pictures and memories of a fun filled evening with their classmates..
This all night graduation party is an integral part of the Burlington Community and tops of a significant day in our kid’s lives creating life long memories. We wish the class of 2012 our best wishes in their future endeavors.
This night would not be possible without all the parents who volunteered to chaperone the event. This Post Grad Party Committee sincerely appreciates their dedication.
