Celebrate Life! A Guide for Planning All Night Alcohol/Drug-Free Celebrations for Teens. Fifth Edition.
Murphy, Sharon, Comp.
The two highest risk nights for teens are prom and graduation. Many students feel as if they have not really celebrated if they have not been drinking or using other drugs. Virginia Operation Prom/Graduation (OP/G) addresses the issues of youth drinking, drugging, and driving behavior during these high-risk social seasons. It encourages a positive approach to negative stereotypic perceptions of what teen "rites of passage" traditions have been by providing alternative drug-free teen celebrations. Topical sections are: (1) About Operation Prom/Graduation; (2) Why Bother?; (3) Everyone Benefits; (4) General Information; (5) Party Guidelines; (6) Party Facility; (7) Taxes, Licenses, Insurance, Etc.; (8) PTA-Celebration Committee Relationship; (9) The Steering Committee; (10) Activities; (11) Chaperons/Security; (12) Clean-up; (13) Decorations and Themes; (14) Food; (15) Funding; (16) Prizes; (17) Publicity; (18) Tickets, I.D., Entry Packets; (19) Volunteers; (20) Small Parties; (21) Lack of Resources; (22) Help Each Other!; (23) Just for Students!; (24) Resources; and (25) Virginia OP/G Honor Roll Awards Program. Appendices include sample letters, forms, and reports. (JBJ)
