B–CC High School PTSA AFTER PROM 2019
May 11th 2019 – Midnight to 5 a.m.
What is After Prom:•A PTSA sponsored event held immediately following the
Prom, open and free to ALL seniors regardless of whether they attend the prom or not. Seniors who attend the Prom may bring their dates to the event. The event usually gets 100% senior participation!
• The purpose is to provide a post prom event that keeps our children out of trouble, off the streets, and in a safe environment. Most importantly, After Prom is a fun, alcohol and drug free, alternative to the unsupervised and often dangerous post prom activities and parties.
