Recently Messmer High School held the 2013 Prom. Many took part in organizing and putting everything together
for this significant event. Prom took place at the Italian Community Center.
The cost was $60 per person and the theme this year was Paris. Eiffel
towers were used to incorporate the theme throughout the hall.
Prom has taken
place at the Italian Community Center for several years now, and it will
continue through many more. Ms. Amy Gibson, 12th grade counselor, said, “We
have prom at the Italian Community Center because everything runs smoothly and
the food is great.”
The prom committee was in charge of choosing the
theme and colors, and the fundraising to earn the money to have the
event. All of the planning and
arrangements for prom begin in September and continue until the
actual prom date. The prom committee also created the invitations and arranged for the souvenir key chains, and the water bottles.
Ms. Gibson helped with Prom organization this
year as well as Mr. Timothy Gallagher (English Teacher), Mr. Ken Klatkiewicz (Counselor, 10th grade), Ms. Suzanne Welsh (Latino Coordinator), Ms. Lora De Franco
(Counselor, 11th grade, Ms. Aleda Kitzmen (Registrar, Math Teacher),
and Ms. Claire Zagar (English Teacher). They all
collaborated in the bake sales, selling nachos, and the prom planning this year.
Senior Jaqueline Lopez, said, “Prom was amazing
and fun; the most memorable part was all of the dancing.” The entire dance
floor was full and everyone had a great time. Junior Kentaurias Johnson added,
“Prom was a fun night with my friends and a lot of dancing.”
Kentaurias also said, “I’m
going to enjoy next year's prom even more because it will be my last year with my
classmates in 2014.” Senior, Ivelis Rodriguez said, “It was worth going to Prom
because you leave with a lot of memories and have a great time with your
friends.”
This year the two people elected as prom king
and queen were seniors Alex Matthews and Alexis Walker. Juniors and seniors
should join the prom committee team next year and help out with the planning
needed to make prom successful for 2014.
