Fulton High parents host $100 dinner for seniors
The dinner is one of several community and school-related activities listed on the district’s calendar for the late winter and early spring. The announcement, updated on February 26, positions the event as an activity for the school’s senior class, organized by parents. This type of parent-organized group is common in school communities for coordinating celebratory events and fundraising efforts separate from official school administration functions. The school district’s announcement does not provide further details on the organizational structure of the Senior Parent Association, its specific leadership, or its formal relationship with Fulton High School. Public records do not specify whether the association is a registered non-profit entity or an informal volunteer group. The use of the high school as a venue shows a collaborative effort between the parent group and the district to provide a space for the event. ## Event Details and Purpose The title of the event, the “$100 Dinner,” is the only financial information provided in the district’s public calendar. The announcement does not clarify if the $100 represents a per-person ticket price, a suggested donation, or a general fundraising target for the evening. The specific purpose of the event, such as whether it is a fundraiser for a class gift, a scholarship fund, or simply a celebratory gathering with costs covered by attendees, is not detailed in the posting. The district’s website provides a “Read More” link associated with the event, but supporting documents detailing the dinner’s specific agenda, menu, or the use of any proceeds were not attached to the public notice. This is a parent-hosted event, distinct from official school-run functions like the family conferences also listed on the district’s calendar for March. ## An Active School Calendar The senior dinner is part of a full schedule of activities at Fulton 58 schools. On the same day the dinner was announced, February 26, the district also listed family conferences at Fulton Middle School. The calendar includes a Board of Education meeting scheduled for March 11 in the Fulton High School Library. Additional family conferences for other district schools, including Bartley, Bush, McIntire, and the Fulton Early Childhood Center, are scheduled for March 18 and 19. Following these events, the district has a planned spring break, with no school from March 23 through March 24, according to the calendar.
