FHE Senior All-Night Party Information

WHAT IS THE SENIOR ALL-NIGHT PARTY (SANP)?

For  many years  it has been a  tradition at FHE for seniors to attend the Senior All Night Party (SANP). This parent-organized and sponsored event begins immediately after the graduation ceremony, providing graduates with a final opportunity to celebrate this milestone among friends in a safe and well-planned event.

The SANP offers graduates food, entertainment, and activities for a night filled with comradery, fun and laughter.  The evening is chaperoned by parent volunteers and monitored for safety.  Once students board buses, they remain at the SANP until safely returned to FHE High School the following morning.

WHERE IS THE SANP?Some know the top secret location, but have been sworn to secrecy.  Graduates or volunteer chaperones must attend to find out where this amazing night will be hosted.

WHAT SHOULD I PLAN TO WEAR TO THE ALL NIGHT PARTY? 

Make sure to bring comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes to graduation.  Jeans, athletic pants, t-shirts, shorts, and tennis shoes are perfect for this event. You may want to bring a sweatshirt, as there will be an outdoor activity if the weather cooperates. Students will change into comfortable clothing before boarding buses.

FHE SANP is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CHECKING IN FOR THE SANP? 

Following graduation, there will be some time for hugs and photos. There should be enough time to change from dress clothes to comfortable clothes, using restrooms or other private space.   

Graduates will return their dress clothes to parents and then proceed to buses for check-in from 9:00-9:15pm. To expedite check-in, only graduates and designated volunteers will be allowed in the check-in area. Buses leave at 9:30pm. 

All students must have a Registration and Liability Waiver on file in order to participate. 

Cars may not be left parked at Calvin University overnight. 

• Collected Items 

This is an “unplugged” event. Phones will be collected in individual, labeled bags, to be returned at the end of the event. 

• Medication 

EPI Pens/inhalers/insulin - If a student needs to carry a medication, they must show this to the check-in volunteer and then maintain possession and responsibility for this throughout the evening. 

• Other Prescription Medication

All other prescription medication must be turned in to the check-in volunteer, to be kept in individual, labeled bags. These will be accessible on-site throughout the evening if needed by the student. 

• Staff will have Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl etc. and can administer this to graduates 18+. 

DO I HAVE A PARENT PICK ME UP AFTER THE PARTY? 

YES! A parent or legal guardian needs to pick their graduate up after the event.   

Graduates will not be allowed to drive themselves home after the event. If a parent or guardian is unable to pick their graduate up, please make arrangements for them to ride with another parent. We do not want sleep-deprived teens driving themselves home. 

WHY ARE ELECTRONIC DEVICES PROHIBITED? 

Electronic devices are not allowed for two reasons: 1) to ensure the location of the event is kept secret, and 2) to promote active engagement for all seniors since this may be the last time all of the graduates are together as one group.

WHAT IF I NEED TO CONTACT MY SON / DAUGHTER IN AN EMERGENCY? 

Please contact any of the following FHE Graduating Class boosters members in an emergency.    We will send out contact information via email closer to the date 

WHAT IF THE SANP NEEDS TO CONTACT AN EMERGENCY CONTACT? 

If your number is listed as the emergency contact, please keep your phone on all night, and make sure to turn off “Do Not Disturb”.
