WHAT IS 8TH GRADE CELEBRATION?

8th Grade Celebration is an (end-of-year) afternoon of fun, for the 8th graders who will be leaving Robinson and headed off to high school. The event is held on campus, for 8th grade students only (and background-checked volunteers). Each year's celebration has a selected theme with activities, snacks, music, and tons of fun, planned by the 8th Grade Celebration Committee volunteers. This event is sponsored and organized by Robinson PTA.

WHAT IS 8TH GRADE CEREMONY?

Completion of middle school is a special time and the school administration would like to recognize all 8th grade students for their achievements at Robinson and celebrate their transition to high school. All 8th grade students and families are invited to attend a special awards ceremony.

2026 Ceremony will be at 6:00 PM on Thursday, May 21 at the Plano West Senior High Gym. Additional information will be shared in the coming weeks.

Help is Needed in Many Ways to Make the Celebration a Success!

The PTA is able to fund most of the celebration, including a DJ, snow cone truck, and activities but some additional support from our RMS community is always needed and appreciated! How can you help? Donate to the 8th grade fund, donate an item from the Amazon wish list (linked below), and/or volunteer!

Information (including donation requests and volunteer opportunities) will be shared, as available.

	YOU CAN DONATE THROUGH THIS AMAZON WISHLIST! Donate through the Amazon wish list, to help supplement some needed items, and items are shipped directly to the school.
	WE NEED MANY VOLUNTEERS! This is not your typical school-class party; it's tons of fun for the students AND volunteers!
	YOU CAN DONATE ANY AMOUNT! Donate any amount that we can use for this event.
	WE NEED FEW ITEMS TO BORROW! We are looking for the following items to make our celebration a success. If you have any of these items that we could borrow for the event, please let us know. Our team will contact you after the celebration to return them.
