Hi everyone! Prom shop is going to be holding a Donation Drive! In school, we will have 6 boxes out in the library for students to put their donations into the boxes, each box has a teacher's name attached to it. Whoever has the most donations will be walking the fashion show with us. 
What is Prom Shop? Prom shop is a student-led organization that aims to cut down the cost of school dances so that students don't have to put a price tag on making fun memories. We do this by letting the student body ‘’rent’’ out our inventory of formal wear, accessories, and shoes for these dances all for free so long as it is returned!
When can you donate? The bins inside the school will be open for students from February 2nd to the 13th. After school on Friday the 13th, Prom Shop Leaders will be outside the front of the School for you to donate then! 
What can you donate? We are always accepting donations of any kind. This includes but is not limited to:
- dresses (long, short, formal, semi formal, casual, ect)
