8th Grade Activities

While $40 is the suggested amount, any amount you can give is very much appreciated.  Donations are voluntary and do not cover the cost of the Jr. Grad Night tickets (see below for Jr. Grad Night info).

A donation is not required for your student to participate in 8th Grade Activities. Eligibility is based on your 8th grader meeting the Culmination Requirements provided by Walter Reed Middle School.

During May and June Walter Reed sponsors or co-sponsors activities for eligible 8th grade students which include the Panoramic Class Picture on XXX, 8th Grade Awards Night on May 20, 8th Grade Dance on May 22, Luncheon on June 5 during school, and the Culmination ceremony on June 9. More details for each of these activities will follow as we get closer to the date of the activity.

Refund Policy: No refunds so please check your child's eligibility. 

The cost of one ticket is $140 and includes admission for 1 student as well as transportation to and from Magic Mountain.  Students can NOT use season passes to participate in Jr Grad Nite. You must purchase a Jr. Grad Nite ticket. 

• Exclusive hours for Jr. Grad Night are 6PM – 12AM with 8th grade students from multiple schools attending this event.  
• Students may purchase food/drink/souvenirs from the concession stands throughout the park using their own money. The park does NOT accept cash. Students must have a credit card or Apple Pay in order to make purchases. They do have kiosks that convert cash to pre-paid debit cards if needed.
• Students will be placed in groups alphabetically with an approved parent or staff volunteer who will be available to the students if needed. These groups are for the purpose of organization and students do not need to stay with these groups at the park.
• Students will be allowed to roam freely within the park, with departure time at 12:00AM.
• 8th grade students attending this event must be Walter Reed Middle School students and must ride the bus to and from Magic Mountain. No friends or siblings are allowed to attend.
• Jr. Grad Nite students must adhere to Magic Mountain dress code. 
• If a student cannot afford the full cost of the ticket, but would like to attend, please contact Friends of Reed at info@friendsofreed.org

• REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS:

  - No refunds after April 14, 2025 if your child is unable to attend for any reason, as we can not get a refund from the park. In the past, students have wanted tickets at the last minute and have been able to purchase the tickets from families who have had to cancel last minute. 

  The deadline to purchase Jr. Grad Nite tickets is April 11, 2025
