My Project

My students are all very special to me. We are a tiny school, with about 200 students in 7th- 12th grade. The most exciting night of the year is prom, however, only juniors and seniors can participate in prom. This makes our funding a bit more challenging when buying materials and supplies to create this special night. We would love to display some large 4ft marquee letters that spell out the word "PROM". We could use them for years to come as well as for the students to take pictures next to.

Prom is the biggest most exciting event of the year!

Most of these kids have been waiting since middle school to be able to attend this dance. It is such a special milestone in high school. Please help me make it a night that they will never forget.
