Despite the rumors spreading like wildfire through North, the annual end of the year All-Knighter is guaranteed
to be a “special night that’s not worth missing.” According to parent Anita Huebner,


head of the ‘09 All-Knighter planning committee, this year’s graduation celebration will still be worth attending despite speculation on whether or not the funds were sufficient enough to support what the All-Knighter entails.
“It’ll be a special night,” Huebner said. “We’ll still have food and entertainment, and everyone will receive some kind of goody bag.”
While Huebner feels the night won’t disappoint, she and her committee are asking everyone – not just seniors – to attend the events that are planned to help fund the All-Knighter. Due to its initial success, another Applebee’s Breakfast will be held for seniors on March 28 from 8-10 and will cost $7. But most recently, on March 1, a five kilometer fun run/walk was held at North.
“[The event] went well, but it was very cold,” organizer Maurine Rapert said. “We made a profit, but not as much as we had hoped. Next year we’ll probably schedule it on a later date so that it’s warm.”
Also affecting the funds is the lack of sugary sweets at candy table. Last year, students spent about $45,000 at the candy table, but students haven’t spent nearly as much this year, and not all of the money from the candy table goes toward the All-Knighter.
“I’m worried that this year’s All-Knighter isn’t going to be as fantastic as the past years’,” senior Katie Kirkman said, “because my sister said that last year’s was pretty spectacular.”
Huebner says that the committee’s biggest problem is that they don’t know how many seniors plan on attending the event.
“That night will still be fabulous,” Huebner says. “There’s no worries.”
