Parents,
What a great time we had at the prom this weekend! The prom committee did a wonderful job decorating the Woman’s Building at the State Fair grounds into a beautiful Asian ballroom. The students and parents both had a fun time eating Chinese food, dancing, and visiting. What we were not expecting was that Smith-Cotton also had their prom that night in the building next to ours. The Sheriff’s cars and metal detectors made a sharp contrast to our prom where the worst we had to worry about was one of the parents hurting themselves while dancing! The students next door would probably have been horrified to learn that there were just as many parents as there were students at our prom. It made me proud to think that our kids enjoy spending time with us and can have fun even with mom & dad in their presence. It gives me hope for the future.
In Christ,
Mrs. Young
