After receiving their diplomas, 250 Scarborough High School graduates will take part in Project Graduation, an event that provides drug and alcohol-free activites for the class to participate in after their graduation ceremony. This year, Project Graduation will take place on June 10. Activities include dinner and a comedian at Harbor’s Edge in Portland, followed by a magician, laser tag, a DJ and pickup basketball at Howard Sports in Saco.

A roast beef supper held at the Scarborough Lions Club last Saturday helped raise funds for Project Graduation. All of the food was provided by the Scarborough Lions Club, whose members were in the kitchen at 8 a.m. on Saturday, preparing the feast for friends of the high school. Meanwhile, a March 31 fundraising auction raised $24,000. According to project chairwoman Nancy Gaudet, whose twin sons James and Paul DuFresne will be graduating this year, leftover money will be given the to class of 2008 for its post-graduation party.

The class of 2007 will be the 16th group to participate in Project Graduation.
