Graduation is fast approaching, and the Abilene Independent School District is working to get a grant to help it put on graduation parties for its seniors.

With that in mind, Caroline Kreitler, the Abilene High Project Graduation representative, passed along some information that I thought I would share.

“Please help us with Project Graduation by posting a favorable comment in support of a $15,000 grant from Hamburger Helper by clicking on the project link or simply go to the Abilene school district’s website and use its direct link to cast your vote by just saying a few kind words in favor of our project. Their foundation’s selection committee is currently reviewing our local community’s support on this event and would like to see a lot of encouragement before awarding us this grant. This would be a tremendous help for the seniors from both Abilene High and Cooper.

“If you know of someone else from scouts, church, work, or school that you can also ask to submit more comments of whether a free Project Graduation party has directly impacted their family in the past or will in the future, please forward this link to them so they could please help us, too.

Thank you.”

Head on over to the site and drop them a quick note. The setup is incredibly user friendly, and the whole process should take three minutes. Project Graduation is a great thing, and anything this community can do to help in bringing this opportunity to its high school seniors, I know, would be much appreciated.
