The All Night Party Committee is looking to share information on how you can help the Class for 2022 party - Mar 31 - 7 PM

Dear Franklin Families, 

The Franklin HS All Night Party is a tradition started in 1990 that has provided our graduated seniors a safe and fun event to celebrate their high school experience one last time as classmates. The graduates enjoy a fun-filled night that includes games, prizes, food, DJ, and a hypnotist show. Due to the pandemic, we unfortunately have not been able to hold this event for the past two years, but the All Night Party (ANP) Committee is ready to bring this incredible event back for our upcoming Class of 2022 graduates and future FHS graduating classes. 

The All Night Party Committee would like to welcome families of new and returning students to join our team. Whether your son or daughter is an elementary or middle school student, Freshman, Sophomore or Junior the All Night Party committee needs you now. Your involvement contributes to the support of the present senior class and guarantees the continuation of this tradition for your future seniors. 

Once again we will be transforming the Horace Mann Middle School into a magical experience. To do this it takes the hard work of numerous volunteers and the support of the school community and business partnerships to make this event a success. The party takes place after the seniors finish their graduation starting at 11pm on June 3rd. 

We will be holding a VIRTUAL informational and initial planning meeting for all interested volunteers at 7 PM on MARCH 31, 2022 via Google Meet. Following this informational meeting there will be a volunteer and donation form shared with the community. 

• Google Meet Link for 3/31/22 at 7 PM: https://meet.google.com/ohs-jswj-zjx
• Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/franklinallnightparty
• Updated web page: https://fhsallnightparty.com/

This event is one of the great traditions of the Franklin Community. We can’t hold this event without the support of all of our community partners and residents. We hope that you are able to join us at 7 PM, MARCH 31 to hear about how we can make this year special for the 2022 graduates and graduates to come. 

Thank you, 

Franklin All Night Party Committee
