Grad Ball 2013: Nostalgia - Where It All Started

Just one more day and it's the Marist School Marikina High School Graduation Batch 2013. The 42nd Commencement Exercise on March 17, 2013 at 8am will be held at the New Marist Gymnasium. The Seniors are all excited, happy and at the same time sad. It marks the end of high school but the beginning of college life.

But wait, after graduation, there's still the Marist School Graduation Ball 2013. The seniors, rather the graduates can still get-together, party and have fun in this special occasion. The graduation ball entitled "Nostalgia: Where It All Started" will be held on March 21, 2013 at Ballroom A of the Crowne Plaza Manila  Galleria (beside the Robinson's Galleria Mall). Come early! Registration starts at 5:30pm. Photo booth sessions start at 6pm, choose from the two Photo Booths or try both. Have as many pictures as you want. Event proper starts at 7pm. There will also be two professional photographers and one videographer (of Jay Santos Photography) to cover the event.

This is the Ballroom A layout for the Marist School Graduation Ball:

As of January 23 there are only 217 (182 students and 35 partners) confirmed/paid attendees, but we have reserved and confirmed Ballroom A  with a maximum capacity of 450 guests to give everyone a chance to join the event. We already paid hotel reservation fees of P60,000 last November 7, 2012 and another P143,402.43 last January 25, 2013. We’ll be paying the balance this February 2013 and we hope to have enough Grad Ball Ticket sales to pay the balance before the event.

We will be accepting new Grad Ball Ticket payments (P 1,900) and balance payments (for those who are not yet fully paid) until February 19, 2013. Payments can be made through the Marist Business Office. The ticket fees are non-refundable, but fully transferable.

Optional expenses (such as additional decorations, souvenir items, awards or raffle items) should be covered by funds from fund-raising activities such as the cake raffle, bottled water booth during the fair.

We strongly urge you to let our 338 Year 10 students be part of this once-in-a-lifetime event and be together with their high school friends for the last time before going different paths in their journey through college and adult life. The Graduation Ball will be their last Marist activity as students, to give thanks to their Marist teachers, to look at the past 10 years, and to wish each other good luck as they welcome new beginnings in college, and to commit to continued friendship. 

Please let our sons have this chance to participate and enjoy this unique event, a memorable finale to ten years of joys and hard work as proud students of Marist School.

Marist Graduation Ball 2011 Updates!

New!

• Buffet Choices
  
• Cake Raffle

• Eastwood Richmonde

One of the traditions for high school graduating classes is to have a graduation ball. It is their last party in a special venue, to celebrate the joys and victories of studying in Marist School for ten years, to bid acquaintances good bye, to wish each other good luck as they welcome new beginnings in college life and to commit to stay in touch with friends. Graduation ball is their one night to remember Marist School and friends.

The Year 10 MSPTA representatives is helping organize the Marist School Graduation Ball 2011, specifically the venue, physical arrangements and food for the event. We have reserved the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel Grand Ballroom (maximum capacity: 350 people) on March 25, 2011 for this event.

The program itself will be handled by the graduating class and their teachers.

For the event, the basic costs related to the event such as venue fees, sounds, lights, photo and food will be paid by the attendees as ticket costs.

Minor fund raising events such as the cake/cookie raffles and booth sales during the Marist fair will defray “luxury” expenses such as decoration, photo booths and event souvenirs.

The event will be from 6pm to midnight on March 25, 2011, the Friday after Graduation Day. Many graduates are expected to attend, with optional partner/”date”. Highlights of the event will be dinner, program, dancing and lots of pictures.

We are nearing our minimum targets for ticket sales and hopeful we will have enough funds to fund the basic necessities for the graduation ball event (buffet dinner, sounds and lights). However, we still need to sell graduation ball tickets to fund the hotel expenses, and cake raffle tickets to fund the photo booth, video coverage and event souvenirs. We urge YOU to campaign for additional graduation ball ticket sales, and additional cake raffle sales to make this a success.

The cake raffle sales will provide students an opportunity to earn cash ( and pay for part of their graduation ball tickets ). If we sell a lot more graduation ball tickets, we might even be able to issue refunds. If we sell a lot more cake raffle tickets, the students might be able to afford to raffle off some electronics ( an iPad perhaps? )

Let us support the Graduation Ball!
