HOME SCHOOL PROM 2010
Necia Myers, Stephanie Frye, Karen Allen, and Chelsey Tasker came to the prom meeting at my house this afternoon. What a bunch of go-getters! Plans have been made, and I want to share them with you.
Our high school prom, for our homeschoolers around the area, in the 9th-12th grades, ages 14 and up, will be Saturday, May 8, at the Wichita Club. Our homeschoolers will be allowed to bring a guest, as long as the guest is still in high school. Each guest and homeschooler will be required to buy a ticket for entrance to the prom.
The doors will open at 6:00 p.m. Parents are invited to come up, take photos, and visit until 6:30. Our banquet will be from 6:30-7:30, and a dance will start at 8:00 and end at 10:00. We will have a DJ that will be playing an assortment of music - big band, country, Christian rock, and some classic rock. At a later date, all prom-goers will be invited to submit titles of any songs they would like played at the prom. All music played will be approved by a committee.
Girls, please don't buy your dresses yet. There will be a dress code that must be followed. Please give us a little time to get this put together and put on the loop before you go dress-shopping.
We are estimating that the cost per ticket will be $50. It will NOT be any more than this, and depending on our turn-out, what is spent on decorations, and the number of sponsors we get, we may be able to lower this price. Please know we are doing everything we can to make this as affordable as we possibly can.
Karen Allen and Necia Myers are in charge of the theme and decorations. Stephanie Frye is in change of finding some sponsors to help us defray the cost. If you are interested in helping in any of these areas, please contact these awesome gals.
There will be many, many opportunities to help with this event. We will need help planning some activities for those who are non-dancers. We are planning on putting together gift bags for those attending. I, or one of the committee chairpeople, will post as these come up.
I hope you are as excited about this as I am. I think this will be a wonderful time for our high schoolers and will be a part of their cherished memories for years to come.
Thanks so much for your interest - Dawn
