Prom Update

Although Prom planning hasn't been the most exciting thing in the universe, it's getting there. We're almost finished receiving all the decorations and we're getting a sign up sheet ready for Grade 11s to begin signing up to set up on the day of Prom. Because of personal reasons ( I have some special people coming into town on that day) I won't be able to set up, but I really hope people start to get involved. We've actually sold quite a few tickets, which is fantastic. I was really starting to worry because it didn't seem as though any of the seniors were very interested in going to Prom this year. It may have something to do with that fact that it's a week before IB exams begin, but I though that that was the whole point of Prom - to let loose right before exams and stop studying for one night. However, it seems as though they've begun to see the light and we're making quite a headway on sales. Last year there was an issue with people leaving really early and it made Prom committee very sad as they had worked very hard to put the whole thing on and then have everyone leave right after dinner. Prom Committee this year has decided that the reason was most likely that after Prom King and Queen were announced, people left. So, we've decided that this year, we're going to announce King and Queen later in the evening and not right after dinner. Hopefully our plan works! I'm very excited about Prom this year, because I think it'll be very fulfilling to see all our hard work pay off. I've posted some pictures of what decorations are going to look like.

The prom is 007 Casino Royale themed, so we've used posters like this one for our advertising campaign.

We'll have cardboard cutouts such as these at Prom.

Each table will have a pack of cards.

We will also have poker chips at each table.

We'll also have plastic martini glasses at each place setting. (there will be no alcohol of course!)
