Parents hope $100 Dinner can give Fulton High School seniors one last hurrah

A $100 ticket buys a dinner for two and a crack at some prizes this March, but for Fulton High School's graduating class of 2014, it could also mean one last time to hang out as a group.

The Fulton Senior Parents Association still has 40 tickets available for its annual $100 Dinner, 6 p.m. March 1 at the school.

This year's menu from Diamond in the Rough includes artichoke dip, pork steak, chicken in wine sauce, potato casserole, green beans, salad and dessert.

Senior parent and event coordinator Jennifer Brady said that all proceeds will go towards the senior all-night party, held the night of graduation.

"It's a nice opportunity for the kids to get together as a class," Brady said. "It's their last opportunity to be together, in a safe, alcohol-free environment. It's a nice sendoff."
