Project Graduation 2022
Berkeley Heights Public Schools
Governor Livingston Project Graduation 2022 was a HUGE success.
Over 150 seniors enjoyed a fun-filled night at the Branchburg Sports Complex.
The event ran from 9:30pm-2am.
There were a variety of activities available to the students including Gaga, Laser Tag, an arcade, basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, soccer, an inflatable obstacle course, a casino (with Amazon gift card prizes), BINGO (with varied gift card prizes), caricaturists, airbrush tattoos, tarot card readers, a photo booth and so much more!
Mountainside EMT Hannah Miller was on hand for the entire evening as were police officers from each town….Detective Yasinski from Mountainside and Officer Rodriguez from Berkeley Heights. A huge shout out to the EMTs and Police Officers!
Eleven event volunteers traveled by bus to and from the event; without them this event wouldn’t be possible.
Those amazing volunteers were: Jordan Hyman, Tracey Gardner, Lisa Fabio, Gina Perrotta, Dana Liloia, Jill Vaidman, Rosa Fontes, Raphael Fontes, Joyce Wallen and Marie “Zoe” Cortez and on-site coordinator, Michelle Tilyou.
A team of 20 additional volunteers, led by Jennifer Doll and Amy Radick, helped with registration and bag check in the GL parking lot before the 5 busloads of seniors departed.
A huge thank you to the Berkeley Heights Board of Education, Mr. Nixon and the GL administrators, local businesses for their generous donations (including 20 dozen donuts donated from the Berkeley Heights Dunkin Donuts located on Springfield Avenue).
