SHERBURNE – The Special Programs prom was held on Friday, May 13, in the Sherburne-Earlville HS/Middle School café. This was the sixth year for this very special event. “Hooray for Hollywood” was the theme. Julie Burns donated decorations that Mr. Dando and his BOCES carpentry students made for last year’s prom to morph the café into a Hollywood gala. Eric Turner donated his time before and after the prom by hanging the crystal ball and helping with everything that needed a ladder. Mrs. Vandernaut, S-E substitute donated time helping us decorate. Without the help of these special people, it would be an impossible feat to muster by ourselves … thank you!
Since this prom’s inception in 2006, the event has grown. Our first prom entertained twenty-nine attendees. In 2007 there were thirty-five and in 2008 there were thirty-eight attendees. This year thirty-eight students attended from SE and four attended from BOCES. It was reported by many that, “it just gets better and better each year!” As the students entered through the tunnel they immediately had their photos taken by Nova Friar, assisted by Jenifer Howard.
We would like to extend special thank yous to the local community businesses that donated various items. Big M, Skip’s Friendly Market, Norwich Pizza Hut, Subway, China King, Hamilton Orthopedics, Norwich Price Chopper, Charlotte Manwarren, Vern Bonacci, McDonalds, Gilligan’s, Floral Fantasy, Top Variety, Service Pharmacy, Attorney James Taylor, Ms. Hellert, Bagnall Electric. The monetary donations this year were used to purchase the “big” door prizes, including having an I-Pod, $25.00 cash prize, camera, and DVD’s. The gifts that were donated put smiles on the student’s faces and added to the evening’s excitement.
The support from administration and S-E staff is always heartwarming. It meant a lot to the staff and students attending to see Ms. Hellert, Mr.Reed and Ms. Williams in attendance. Mrs. Hess always supports the event by attending and having her class make balloons weights for all the balloons donated by Top Variety and Price Chopper. S-E students later reported that the highlights of the evening were seeing Ms. Hellert and Mr. Reed breaking some moves on the dance floor.
The evening ended with the crowning of two courts. The S-E court included Macie Rowe, Christina Sala, Cody Eldridge and Alfie Weymouth.
Alfie Weymouth was crowned king and Christina Sala was crowned as queen. The BOCES staff crowned Garrett Newell as king, and Chelsea Carr crowned as queen.
The evening was magical, mystifying, made of many special memories. If for a moment, time stood still and could be captured in a bottle, all the attendees would have an heirloom of their own to hold on to. It was a night filled with smiles, laughs, and all inhibitions thrown by the wayside. Thank you to all of you that helped, donated, and attended to make this night so special for so many.
