2026 Senior Party - Parent Checklist

Note: Key dates and events will continue to be added through March 2026


Every parent and guardian is invited and encouraged to get involved in some way - big or small. It is a lot of fun! Our hope is that ALL seniors in the Class of 2026 will take part in this incredible experience! We know there is A LOT of information to keep track of with a graduating student. This checklist is to help you keep on top of all things related to the EHS Senior Party. 

1. Learn more about the Edina Senior Party

This year’s party takes place on Monday June 1st, 2026, immediately following commencement. Students will be bused from graduation to the Mall of America (the theme park has been rented as a private space).

For context, due to construction constraints at Edina High School, the Parent Committee has worked hard to identify a new space for a fun and memorable party. Exciting things are in the works!

2. Stay Connected

If you'd like to receive notifications about the senior party, please sign up to be on our email list. Due to privacy issues, we cannot obtain your address from school. Your email address will be kept in confidence. Please add us to your safe sender list so we don't end up in your spam folder. You can also join our Facebook and Instagram Edina Senior Party Parent Groups to stay up to date on all of the excitement.

3. Join other Parents at the Senior Parent Party Fundraiser

More information coming soon.

4. Create your “Senior Body”

Our location may have changed, but the tradition of Senior “Bodies” posters lives on!

Friends and family are invited to an open house walkthrough of the Senior Bodies display at Kuhlman Field on Sunday, May 31st from 1:00-4:00pm. Come explore life-size posters of the Senior class and take the opportunity to capture a memorable cap & gown photo with your graduate! This is a rain or shine event.

The “Bodies” are a life sized, full body photo of your senior that are used to decorate the school. In past years, students have been photographed wearing a team uniform, t-shirt/sweatshirt of the college they are going to attend, or have used a senior photo. Note: they should be of the whole body, not just a head shot. Learn the details here: Senior Bodies — Edina Senior Party

Key dates:

  • Last day to order from vendors is tbd

  • The Bodies can be dropped off tbd

5. Order your Yard Sign and/or Personalized Banner

Celebrate your senior with a EHS Class of 2026 Yard Sign and/or personalized banner.

Coming soon - stay tuned for details.

6. Donate and Fundraise

The Senior Party is a self-funded event and receives no money from the school district. In addition to proceeds from registration fees, we rely on fundraisers throughout the year and prize donations for the night of the party. Your financial donation allows us to provide scholarships so ALL graduating students can attend, regardless of financial situation. Help us make this a memorable night for every student. Interested in being a sponsor? Contact us at seniorpartyedina@gmail.com.

8. Spread the Word! 

We want all EHS Class of 2026 students and parents to be a part of the excitement surrounding the Senior Party. Please help spread the word about the party to your friends and any families with a graduating student.
