A message from PAPA:

Dear Parents/Guardians of 8th Grade Students,

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming 8th-grade promotion celebration scheduled for Thursday, May 16, 2024. This special event marks a significant milestone in your child’s academic journey, and we cordially invite you to join us in commemorating their achievements.

The celebration will take place at Main Event, 4040 Pan American Fwy NE, starting at 5:00 PM and concluding at 9:00 PM. Below is a breakdown of the evening’s activities:

• 5:00-6:00 PM: Room Rental for Pictures and Certificate Presentation

Capture the memories of this momentous occasion with photographs and receive certificates commemorating your child’s successful completion of 8th grade.

• 5:30-6:00 PM: Pizza for 8th Graders

Enjoy a delicious pizza dinner with fellow classmates as a token of appreciation for their hard work throughout the school year.

• 5:00-9:00 PM: All You Can Play Activities

Experience an evening of excitement with unlimited access to various activities, including Laser Tag, Gravity Ropes, Bowling, and Arcade games (each student will receive a $10 card).

Please note the following important details:

The PAPA Junior Honor Society and Student Council have been fundraising all year to help pay for this event. 8th Grade student admission will be paid for by these clubs. The price of admission includes bowling shoes. We do however need a confirmation of attendance to secure your child’s ticket. We will be sending home a permission slip and confirmation of intent to participate.

Parents are welcome to attend the celebration, and while the Main Event remains open to the public, we kindly ask that you reserve your own lanes for bowling and purchase food and arcade games separately.

Expected Behavior: All 8th-grade students must uphold exemplary behavior throughout the event and at school leading up to the celebration.  This includes maintaining excellent school attendance, class work completion and school behavior expectations as students will be serving as ambassadors of our school community.  We believe that this celebration provides a well-deserved opportunity for our students to celebrate their accomplishments and create lasting memories with their peers. Thank you for your continued support in making this event a success.If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the front office. We look forward to celebrating with you and your child on May 16th!

Respectfully,
Tamara Lopez
