LA GRANDE â With graduation only a short few weeks ahead, the La Grande High School graduation party is looking to offset some fears and leave grads feeling hopeful, safe and possibly in a car.
âItâs making this pretty special,â said Geoffrey Robinson, a La Grande High School parent and one of the lead organizers of the event to be held at the Union County Fairgrounds.
The 2011 Kia Soul, which Legacy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Island City donated, comes on the heels of dozens of other donations from businesses, organizations and individuals for the graduation party.
Robinson said graduation is a huge milestone for seniors, and this can make youths take chances and do risky things, such as drinking and driving. The graduation party is one way to help prevent that.
