On June 10, Davis Grad Night celebrated its 27th year. Grad Night is an all-night, drug- and alcohol-free celebration for Davis’ graduating seniors.

This year, more than 500 graduates of Davis High, Da Vinci, King High and the Davis School for Independent Study spent the night enjoying music, dancing, casino games, outdoor activities, a hypnotist show, karaoke, refreshments and a huge raffle. It was an unforgettable night for our seniors, the perfect sendoff after 13 years of hard work.

Through the energy, creativity, time and money of parents — with tremendous support from the community — Emerson Junior High School was transformed into a “World Tour 2011” theme venue. We could not have done it without generous donations from businesses and organizations such as Davis Ace Hardware, Davis Sunrise Rotary and Davis Waste Removal.

We also worked with the city of Davis fire marshal, Davis Police Department and the Davis Joint Unified School District to ensure a safe celebration.

Please visit the Davis Grad Night Web site, http://www.davisgradnight.org, for a complete list of the businesses, organizations and individuals who donated to this event, a list of our steering committee members, and photos from the event.

We would like to thank all those involved in making this year’s event run so smoothly and be such fun for our graduating seniors.
