Parent Post Prom Committee Information

Below is Post Prom FAQ’s

What is a Post Prom Party? A post prom party is an event that is held immediately after the Junior/Senior Prom to offer these students a safe, alcohol and drug free night of fun activities.
When is this year’s Post Prom Party? The Post Prom Party is on Saturday May 1st, 2010 at the YMCA of Steuben County from 12 midnight to 6 a.m.
Who plans the Post Prom? Post prom is planned by a group of parent volunteers from the junior class. Meetings are scheduled starting in the fall all the way through the Post Prom. This event takes a lot of coordination and involvement from many junior parents. Planning takes almost an entire year to coordinate all of the fundraising and other events.
What is the cost to the students? This event is FREE to all students who sign up to attend the event. It is through generous donations of time, monies and other items that make this program successful. We have many parent and business sponsors who want to join us in providing this safe environment for our students.
How can I help? Attend a meeting, sign up for a committee, help with our Post Prom Table, or sign up to work at the event itself. The first thing to do is attend a meeting or contact one of the committee members. You can always make a check donation to Fremont Post Prom and drop it off at the high school office. Additional questions can be addressed to Christine Seiler at mcrj@mchsi.com or Kim Bennett at bennettk@trine.edu.
Why should I get involved? The goal is to have the junior parents run this entire event for the senior class and in turn next year the same goal exists. We need EVERYONE’S participation to coordinate an event of this magnitude. Your junior will be a senior in the blink of an eye and it’s up to all of us to keep this great tradition going one parent at a time.
