Good afternoon,

4th Annual Rajiv Paluri International Night:

Many of you may remember four years ago when a young boy from the Blanchard Middle School named Rajiv Paluri was taken from us in a skiing accident at the Nashoba Ski Area.  Tomorrow evening from 5:30PM to 10:00PM we are hosting the 4th Annual Rajiv Paluri International Night.  Rajiv loved many things besides his family; three of his joys were football, the fall, and different types of foods.  In honor of his memory we are hoping you will support this event. Rajiv was a member of the Class of 2019.

If you are to willing to drop of soda, water, snack items, cups, paper plates, cutlery, napkins ext. We would ask you to drop off any items at 4:30 PM on Saturday, November 17, 2018 by the cafeteria doors. (Drop-off-Looking at the high school, right side, by the granite blocks.) Store bought food items cookies, chips, cheese and crackers or perhaps cut up fruit would also be great. 

Many local restaurants will be supplying some main dishes for the event and there will be plenty of PIZZA for the young ones.

We would love for you to then come back to join us a 5:30 mingle with Rajiv's family.  THE EVENT is also a THROWBACK TEEN CENTER for students.  All kinds of activities for the student body. (Basketball, Canjam, Table tennis, SMASH video, music and karaoke and more!)

Donations of $5 per person will be accepted at the door and will be supporting the Rajiv Paluri Memorial Foundation.
