While I can't show you photos of any of the students, I can share a few of the venue and one of me and my sweetie pie. Hank was a trooper...he was there from start to finish. Our friend Ted came to help too, thank goodness. Hank and Ted made sure that the punch bowl stayed full (and unspiked) while the staff and I made sure that the students stayed true to their "prom promise" to leave typical high school drama and other shenanigans out of this special night of celebration.
The students chose "An Evening in Paris" as the theme and while it was "prommy" as you would expect, I carried silver and crystal for the refreshment table. Many of our students don't have a lot of advantages...some have never eaten in a "sit down" restaurant from a real menu. They were over the moon when they saw, as one student said, "all the fancy stuff"! Each student received a goblet (a goblet that is NOT a wine glass) as a prom favor.
I'm so proud that the night was a success...proud and completely exhausted...my feet are still killing me this morning. I tried to participate in a group dance and lasted about three minutes. I'm old...old and out of shape. REALLY need to do something about that.
On another happy note...my grad classes are OVER....YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!
Graduation is May 31...where did the year go??
One of the biggest "whew" moments for a high school principal - The Prom's end! Good job, Miss Belle! You Rock. Good looking picture of you and your sweetie-pie. XOXO
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!! It looks grand!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you to give your students an event out of their realm of normalcy. I have a student in my class who is just like that. I posted about a month ago (a two parter as I am known for!) about him and my sweet students giving him a birthday to remember.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I hope you feel really proud of your good work. And, less important but my particular slant, the navy and pale yellow looked GREAT and really sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!!! I know the kids had a wonderful time! You are an amazing principal and I'm sure the students love you. How could they not? Great picture or you and hubby. Glad the evening was a success. Can't believe that your school year is drawing to a close. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteWell ,it certainly looks like you pulled it off! I love the "Paris" theme! Tres chic.LOL! I know the kids were thrilled and had enough wonderful memories to last a lifetime.:)
ReplyDeleteYou and your husband looked wonderful and what a great night for your students.
