The Class of 2026 will be graduating on May 23, 2026. As in the last 36 graduations, our community will unite to offer our best wishes to our graduates. Once again, our event will take place on Friday, May 22 immediately following the mandatory graduation practice on the campus of the high school. We will be hosting a field day event with food, games, and gifts! Every Senior student is invited, fed, entertained, and goes home with a significant gift.

Your help is needed! A celebration such as the Grad Party does not happen year after year without the support of the community, including people, organizations, and businesses like you. You may choose to donate an item a student would appreciate, such as gift cards, sports equipment, electronics or cash, where we can shop.

Generations of seniors have participated in Grad events to celebrate their achievement and we are doing everything we can to keep this tradition alive. Please consider supporting this year’s GRAD PARTY Committee’s plan. To DONATE FUNDS, please make your tax-deductible check payable to Our Village Okeechobee (EIN:47-3944280). Checks can be mailed to SouthState Bank, Attn: Tabitha Trent at 2100 South Parrott Ave., Okeechobee, FL 34974 or dropped off via the drive-thru. They can also be mailed to or dropped off at Our Village Okeechobee (205 NE 2nd St., Okeechobee, FL 34972). Please write “GRAD PARTY 2026” in the memo line of your check.

We have additional options for giving this year: Cash app to $ourvillageokeechobee or through our Give Butter platform at https://givebutter.com/YjkW1d.
