The Weight of Graduation Fundraising
In my earliest days at Boothbay Region High School as a ninth grader in 2022, my classmates and I were told we had to raise roughly $14,000, which is the same amount in 2024. Only now at the end of my sophomore year after seeking the information, have I been informed what this money goes towards, and it is clear that a small group of students, including myself, will feel the weight of raising this money. This is not the case for other high schools in our region, such as Wiscasset High School, who do not have to fundraise for graduation. I hope to correct the lack of communication given to students surrounding the responsibility to fundraise for graduation and propose that participating in at least one school fundraiser should be a graduation requirement.
