The Polaris Express

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!!

Who & What:

All Juniors & Seniors (even if they don't attend prom) and their dates are invited to Post Prom. Christ Community Church generously allows us to host Post Prom in their huge venue. This fantastic space allows us to have separate areas for food & drinks, karaoke, a casino (including bingo), and lots of giant inflatables. Raffle tickets are acquired easily throughout the evening and offer the chance to win great prizes. It's casual and crazy and a blast! And EVERYTHING is included for one low ticket price (just $25 if purchased in advance). Check out this Reel from 2024! or this one: Casino Fun!

Where & When:

Post Prom will be held at Christ Community Church on Randall Road after Prom, from 10:30pm Saturday, May 2rd until 2:30am on Sunday, May 3rd.

Why:

We are passionate about providing a safe space for our students to make good choices and have a memorable celebration.

How you can help:

PEOPLE

The event planning is broken down into committees. At this time, we need chairs to head up the following committees:

TICKET SALES: Coordinate ticket sales at the school and student check-in at the event. We use Eventbrite for ticket sales.

SECURITY: Coordinate with facility staff and security volunteers to ensure safety of students.

CASINO: Set up the casino at CCC and manage the bingo and card games during the evening.

GAMES: Coordinate volunteer supervision at inflatable games.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING AS A COORDINATOR, PLEASE CONTACT JULIE GOVREAU at jagjd2004@gmail.com if you would be willing to volunteer for any of the above positions.

VOLUNTEERS:

It takes a lot of volunteers to staff this event - parents, older siblings, alumni, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, friends - all are welcome!! We have many parents of alumni that return to volunteer because it is such a fun event for students and volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering please sign up!

PRIZES

We are only able to host this wonderful event because of the support of the generous families at SCN. We realize not everyone is in a position to help financially, but if you are, we are grateful for your support. In addition to all the fun activities we have planned, we hope to have an epic prize raffle for the students who attend. In previous years, this has been a favorite part of the evening. If you are able to help financially, we have an Amazon Wish List which makes donating a breeze!
