Sulphur Springs High School Seniors to be Given Options for `09 Graduation Celebration
July 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment
graduation-celebration
Shortly after seniors begin the school year at Sulphur Springs High School, they will be surveyed on a couple of options they have for next spring’s Graduation Celebration. Option one will be to continue to have the event at the high school on graduation night. Option two will be to have it at Main Event in Plano. Fine Arts Secretary Cindy Welch, also the mother of a senior this year, says option two developed after it was learned that seniors at Sulphur Springs would be graduating during the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Ms. Welch explains the schedule does not include the usual off day before graduation that parents use to decorate. Main Event offers 16,000 square feet of bowling, laser tag, an arcade of 75-games, billiards, a movie room, karaoke and even a virtual roller coaster. And parents don’t have to clean up. Ms. Welch says she hopes the seniors will still have to pay only $5 for a ticket. She explains students will be taken to and from Main Event on Graduation night by charter buses.
