WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!
We need 50 volunteers at Grace Church & Whirlyball to make this party a success!
Parents of 9-12th graders at Shakopee High School/Tokata Learning Center or adult community volunteers age 21+ only. If you have a teen 18+ who has already graduated and would like to volunteer, please email shakopeeseniorgraduationparty@gmail.com to ask what positions are available.
SENIOR PARENTS: Please note that the graduation ceremony is generally from 6-8pm. If you'd like to volunteer as a Bus Captain and/or at WhirlyBall after the ceremony, please let us know in the signup that you are a "senior parent" so that we know to expect you a little later than the start time for your volunteer shift.
Please review the list for areas of need. After you sign up, we will send an email in the weeks prior to the party with more specifics.
Thank you for your help in making the 2025 Senior Graduation Party a fun and safe event for our Shakopee Seniors. Your support is very appreciated!!
Any questions? Please email shakopeeseniorgraduationparty@gmail.com.
The current SSGP committee is preparing to step aside, and we’re looking for parents of current Shakopee High School students to step in and carry this tradition forward.
Over the years, we’ve built organized systems, templates, and clear processes that make each role easy to learn and repeat. You won’t be starting from scratch — everything is designed to help the next team transition smoothly and confidently.
Please take a moment to review the available roles and consider where you might be able to help. With many hands involved, we can ensure this special celebration continues for our seniors year after year.
