SouthFest Fundraiser

Posted on April 27, 2022 by Michelle Wetlaufer in For Seniors, From the PTSO

Dear Senior Parents/Caregivers,

The PTSO has sponsored Southfest, a party for the ENTIRE senior class, for over 20 years.  The party is held at a transformed Newton South after the Senior Prom, but all senior students are welcome to attend – whether they went to Prom or chose to do something else that evening.  We have been unable to run Southfest for the past two years, but now we are thrilled to say it is BACK! This year, the party will take place on June 7th from 11:30 PM – 3:00 AM.

Most years the PTSO and the senior class hold various fundraisers to support this event; however, due to Covid restraints earlier in the year, we are short on funds. 

We are asking for a donation from senior parents to support this amazing event – one last time for the students to enjoy an evening of fun, games, food and entertainment with their graduating class.  Please click the button below to donate to Southfest this year. Suggested donation amount is $50 and we appreciate any donation you are able to make.  Let’s give our seniors an amazing party after all they have been through!
