Grads offered to check out free prom attire at Mac High

by

Students graduating this school year can take advantage of donated prom attire during several upcoming open houses being held in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue.

Project Prom is an initiative organized by two educators at Macdonald High School, which is part of the Lester B. Pearson School Board.

The aim is to help graduating students prepare for an important social night without having to face a financial burden. Some kids miss out on their Grade 6 graduation and Grade 11 prom because they simply cannot afford it and that’s where Project Prom can help, Pearson officials noted.

Students are invited to browse for a dress or a suit, shoes and some accessories, for free. Participants are asked in return to make a donation (such as canned goods) to help out On Rock Community Services, which runs a food bank in Pierrefonds.

Students must make an appointment to select items during open houses set for Saturdays on Feb. 4, March 18, April 15 and May 6 at Macdonald High School, 17 Maple St., Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. To book an appointment, send an email to jguy03@lbpearson.ca.
