Project Graduation 2008 A Success!

(McKINNEY, Texas) -- Project Graduation, the safe alternative to celebrating graduation from high school for the McKinney ISD schools, was a huge success last Friday night. Though the numbers haven't yet been finalized, it looks like more than 1,000 graduates, along with over 300 adult volunteers helping out, not to mention a number of generous sponsors, came together at Myers Park for a most excellent all-night party.

Besides the fun, games and food, prizes were handed out: the grand prize Nissan Sentra was awarded to Caroline Cloutier, an MHS student. In addition, eight $500 cash prizes, twenty $100 cash prizes, 440 $50 cash door prizes and more than 250 other cash and donated prizes went to the graduate attendees, with a total value of over $130,000. And every attendee went home with prize envelopes with over $60 worth of free items included.
