🚨 We Need Your Help! 🎉
Post Prom is a long-standing community-sponsored event that gives our students a fun, safe place to celebrate after prom. This special night helps keep our kids safe, supervised, and out of trouble while they continue making great memories with their friends. 💙
However, this event can only happen with the help of our community. Without volunteers to help plan, organize, and assist the night of the event, we may no longer be able to continue this important tradition.
We are asking parents, community members, and local supporters to consider helping with planning or volunteering the night of Post Prom. Even a little time can make a big difference!
✨ If you’re willing to help keep this tradition alive for our students, please reach out to the contact info on the flyer or comment below.
Let’s work together to keep Post Prom safe, fun, and going strong for our kids! ❤️
