Prom Fashion Show
A showing of the latest prom fashions will be on display in a fashion show in the Durant Auditorium this Thursday, January 28 during Mega Lunch.
Cost is $2.00. All proceeds are going to this year's senior prom.
Girls will be modeling dresses from David's Bridal and guys will be modeling tuxes from the Men's Warehouse.
There will also be a "blast from the past" showing of teachers' prom pictures from their high school days.
The senior class will also be revealing the prom theme! Information about prom will also be given during the show. Students can buy tickets from their 1st and 2nd period teachers. If you buy a ticket, you'll get out of 2nd period early to attend the show.
