Come As You Were: The Ultimate Senior Send-Off
Before they walk the stage, let’s go back to our own.
Class of 2027 Parents—it’s time to party like it’s 1989 (or 1994)! While our kids are busy making their own senior memories, we’re taking a night to revisit our senior year era! Dust off the Doc Martens, find that old varsity jacket, or tease your hair to the heavens. Whether you were a grunge enthusiast, Cyndi Lauper wannabe, a neon-clad preppy, goth, or a total jock, come dressed as you were during your own Senior Year or to relive the 80s and 90s however you want.
The Setlist:
Live Performance by Alavera: They’ll be bringing the house down with the hits that defined our decades.
Gourmet Eats & Throwback Treats: High-end food and drinks (thankfully, we’ve upgraded from the cafeteria menu).
The Vibe: Pure nostalgia. No curfews, no homework, just good friends and great music.
Dress Code: Your Senior Year Self. (Baggy flannel, shoulder pads, and excessive hairspray encouraged.)
Don't leave this one to "The Breakfast Club." Spots are limited, so grab your tickets before they’re "clueless" and gone!
