Students & parents of Norwich junior class plan After-Prom Party
NORWICH – Plans are in place for the sixth annual After Prom Party, designed to keep children in a safe environment following the Norwich Junior Prom May 3.
Each year, parents and students join forces to present an event that appeals to students while making the evening worry-free for parents. This tradition was started by the Students Against Destructive Decisions Chapter (SADD) at the high school approximately six years ago as a dedication to three Norwich graduates killed in college by a drunk driver.
Once the prom concludes, the YMCA will allow students to play games of chance, dance to a D.J., do a bungee run, sticky wall, see a magician, have a charicature artist paint them and get a chance inside the cash machine.
In years past, participation for the party has reached 80 percent and organizers say their goal is to reach 100 percent this year.
Organizer Brenda May says the event is one she as well as other parents and community members hope to offer for years to come.
“Our goal is to provide a safe, drug- and alcohol-ree place for promgoers to have fun after the formal,” she said.
The party, which is open to all juniors and prom attendees, will begin immediately after the prom at midnight and will end at 5 a.m., Sunday. “Once the students are signed in, they will not be allowed to leave unless a parent comes in to sign them out,” said May.
The students who stay all night will be eligible for door prizes which will be awarded throughout the morning and have been donated by local merchants and community members. A $1,000 cash prize drawing will be held at the end and will go to a Norwich junior.
Students wanting to come should pick up their sign up sheets along with their prom tickets at the high school.
“The event is important. It is a generalized place students can all go and it is as much fun as any other party kids may want to attend,” said junior organizer Kayla May.
In order for the after-prom-party to be successful, fund raising is ongoing up until the event. “We are looking to concerned people, businesses and organizations in the community to help with our expenses for food, door prizes and the entertainment being planned. We feel strongly we must continue to provide a safe and fun evening for our youth,” said May.
Donations may be sent to: Norwich High School SADD Chapter Attn: Kelly Collins-Colosi, Advisor, Midland Drive, Norwich, NY 13815.
It is asked that donors indicate these tax-deductible funds are specifically for the After-Prom Party.
The committee is in need of volunteers to help with organizing the event in addition to workers/chaperones. If anyone is interested, contact Brenda May at 334-9593 or e-mail her at kbkmay@frontiernet.net.
A meeting will be held at 3 p.m., Sunday, March 30 in the conference room at the YMCA. Anyone interested in helping organize the event is welcome to attend.
