Seniors have been looking forward to prom since their freshman year. They have been preparing to raise money ever since so they can a memorable prom with their friends.

The officers of the class of 2017 announced at the beginning of the year that the place for prom has already been reserved. Prom will be taking place on the Spirit of Washington cruise  on June 9.

Because prom will be on a boat, the tickets for the dance are pricy, each being 100 dollars. The officers planned ahead of time and came up with a payment plan that will benefit everyone and it will be easy to afford.

“We realize that is pretty expensive for some students and it’s more than ordinary with what were are trying to do. We are having prom on lay-away meaning that you pay 20 dollars at the end of each month so when may comes you are completely paid off with your  tickets,”  class of 2017 president Matthew Vogus said.

Officers and sponsors have worked hard to make prom for senior memorable and for students to help out in anyway they can.

“We are setting a spirit fundraiser right now, we are setting a Chick-Fil-A fundraiser and we are setting Krispy Kreme fundraiser as well, I’m sure we have the Valentine’s day event and we also have march madness coming up within the next month so those five things should brings us a good amount of money,” Vogus said.

Seniors are happy with the payment plan and look forward to prom.

“I think the layaway is a good idea because it gives students time to pay for prom and it will feel less expensive because we will be paying it in parts,” senior  Gisella Aparicio Lopez said.

The best way to make senior year memorable is by participating in any fundraisers and help the class of 2017 make more money.

“Follow us on Twitter, we have updates and when we really have the fundraiser we would like you guys to participate, we will hangout forms during  W4, and it’ s really just being aware of what is going on and we are constantly putting it on the announcement and on twitter of what is going on and being aware of our fundraisers,” Vogus said.
