Bus trips to Manhattan benefit 2 schools: Sabater Elementary School and Petway Elementary School
Two schools are planning theater bus trips to New York City to augment school activity funds.
There are only a few seats left for a Sabater Elementary School trip to Manhattan on Sunday, Dec. 7 for your choice of: “The Radio City Christmas Spectacular”, “Mamma Mia” or bus transportation only.

Petway Elementary School is planning a Feb. 7, 2009 trip to either “Billy Elliott” or “Guys and Dolls”. Bus transportation is also available on this date.
The bus leaves at 9 a.m. from the school and returns at 10 pm. – plenty of time for the show and dinner on your own. According to the organizers, “it’s a great way to enjoy your day and still help to raise money for the kids as this is a benefit for Petway School. It will make a great Christmas gift or something special for Valentine’s Day.”
Tickets to “Billy Elliott” are $165 each and tickets to “Guys and Dolls” are $130 each. Bus transportation only is $35.
Deposits are due by Dec. 4 as follows: $115 per ticket for “Billy Elliott” and $80 per ticket for “Guys and Dolls”.

Holiday Poinsettia Sale to Benefit Project Graduation
Project Graduation is once again revving up its fund-raising campaign to garner the $50,000 plus needed for the annual student safety event, according to program officials.
Project Graduation is a free all-night drug and alcohol-free party for seniors to celebrate their high school graduation. The location for this celebration is always a secret known only to a few of the organizers and never revealed to the students until their actual arrival at the site.
For the past three years, through a variety of events and broad support from the community, Project Graduation was fully funded. But now, the group is starting a new campaign because state budget cuts again leave the affair without dedicated financial support.
The first event on the agenda is the Annual Holiday Poinsettia Sale. Parents and members of the community are asked to help support Project Graduation by purchasing a six-inch holiday plant for $10. Color choices are red, white, pink, and marble.
Those in the community who would also like to help the cause by purchasing poinsettias are asked to submit an order, accompanied with payment, no later than Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Orders should be sent to Project Graduation c/o Ms. Fiori at VHS. The address is 2880 E. Chestnut Ave., Vineland, NJ 08361.
Checks should be made payable to the “Vineland High School Activities Fund”.
Plants will be available for pickup at the South Campus Auditorium from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 10.
