Post Prom

We are asking the Seniors that are attending to make an Egg Bake and drop it off at the Community Center Friday, April 29 between 6-8. We are asking students 9-11 that are attending to bring $5.00 to help with the cost of food. In the past we have had people donate bars, pop, ect. but decided we would try this way this year.

Thanks Post Prom Committee
