Brookwood parents send their seniors to Project Graduation, an all night lock-in on graduation night, knowing they are safe & having a great time. Last year, 248 grads enjoyed inflatables, caricatures, volleyball, basketball, DJ & casino tables. Refreshments were served all night & PTSA gave away great prizes, including a few college scholarships. This year's plans are just as exciting, but they need your financial support. Consider making a donation to this event. Contact Tara Panell by email or 404-641-6521 or Rebecca Campbell by email or 770-982-0627.
