Project Graduation Events

Come join us for a Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, March 20, from 8:00-10:00 a.m. at Applebee's Restaurant located on 820 at Rufe Snow. It's all you can eat pancakes for $5.00. What a great way to wind up your Spring Break - have an FWC senior serve you breakfast. Tickets are available in each school office through Friday, March 12, or you can purchase them on the day of the event.

Beautifully decorated egg shaped Easter cookies are being sold until Friday, March 26, for just $1.00 each or a dozen (12) for $10.00. They will be individually wrapped and delivered to the students on Thursday, April 1. Order forms are available in each school office or by clicking here

Project Graduation will be selling flats of spring flowers for your yard, containers, and neighborhood entrances. The flats consist of 20 four-inch plants from a reputable grower who typically sells to professional landscapers. There are over a dozen varieties of the most popular spring flowers to choose from. Flats will be sold for $16.00, less than $1.00 per plant. Orders may be taken from your neighbors, landscapers, and Homeowners Association landscaping companies.  If you don't need a full flat, split one with a friend for container planting.  Flowers will be delivered to FWC and available for pickup on Friday, April 16 and Saturday, April 17. By waiting until April, we will escape the threat of a late spring freeze. Click here for sample pages and an order form.
