Why Does It Cost So Much?

The SANP Committee has had some parents ask "Why does the SANP still cost $100 when it's at the school?" When the event is held at Dave & Busters it's one flat fee for all the activities and food. It is actually costs the SANP Committee  more to have it at Adams and bring in all the food and activities to entertain seniors for 5 hours! The SANP Committee has rented casino tables, laser tag, mechanical bull, big video game, inflatable basketball game, float archery, toxic arm, trike race, hypnotist shows, high voltage game, caricature artists, psychics, artistic airbrush temporary tattoos, a coffee lounge with games featuring the Cappuccino Man with unlimited coffee and smoothies, Famous Daves, Jersey Mike's, Candy Bar, and an Ice Cream Bar! The students are going to love being at Adams one last time enjoying the evening with their friends!  

All three RCS high schools are charging the same amount and working hard to bring the fun to their seniors! The SANP Committee hopes cost isn’t a prohibitive factor in giving your senior this special memory, but if you have a financial hardship, please reach out to Mr. Cal, it will remain confidential.
