The annual celebration, now in its fifth year, is aimed at offering the senior students a safe environment in which they can “have one last party,” says Kathleen Savage, who, along with Judy Dickson, is organizing the event. According to Savage, the evening is widely supported by the student body and its success depends greatly on assistance provided by the surrounding community. “About 93 percent of the senior student body attends the party,” she said, “We're always looking for parents and community members to help out through donations or by volunteering their time.” Savage says the volunteers handle jobs ranging from dec- oration and catering, to fund raising and security. The next meeting of the “Grad 2005” committee will be held on Tuesday, March 1, at 7 p.m. in the Dallas High School Library. Any parent or community member interest- ed in offering assistance is invited to attend. ‘Cyber security camp’ Tenth grade students from West Side Area Vocational- Technical School, Wyoming Valley West, Wyoming Area, Dallas, Lake Lehman, Northwest Area and Tunkhannock Area high schools are eligible to participate in the region’s first Cyber Security Camp, scheduled for Saturdays March 19, April 2, April 9 and April 15 at the West Side Area Vocational-Technical School.
