Prom at Wiggins High

Of course parents don't get to go to prom but I did get to take pictures of some of the couples. Hank took a fellow student, Katlin Schwindt. Hank and Katlin met two more couples before the prom and went out to dinner at Old Chicago Pizza. Now a pizza place wasn't a fancy place to go all dressed up but these kids like pizza so it seemed appropriate to them.

Everyone was dressed up and looking fine. From left to right, Logan and Mariella, Hank and Katlin, Alex and Ashley

After dinner, the kids went back to the school where the lead out and prom dance began at 8pm. Wiggins junior parents host an afterprom party which begins at midnight and continues until 3am. The idea for this party centers around providing the kids something fun to do and to keep them off the roads and minimize opportunities for drinking. The couples leave prom, change to some comfort clothes and come back to the school to enjoy a fun party games, movies, competions, and prizes. Most all the students and their dates attend, I think the chance for prizes is a big draw.

Hank had a great time and because of the after prom party, I knew he was safe.
I appreciated this practice of the prom and after prom, thanks to the Wiggins Jr. Parents!
