"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance." -Japanese Proverb

Prom was a smashing success.  You would have never known that there had been all those eleventh-hour glitches... the gym looked great, the food arrived and was served, the music worked out fine, and all appropriate cords were found in time to pull it all off.  All the hard work by the middle school teacher, who sponsored the event, paid off, everyone had a great time!

 Prom had a rather slow start, but no worries, these two rocked it out and got the party started, got the party started, got the party started!

Too bad this isn't a video!

Everyone dressed in their finest duds!

An elementary teacher worked hard to set up a photo booth.  Teachers at all grade levels pitch in for the prom. Using a green screen and his MacBook Pro, people were able to get their pictures taken and then he dropped in the background of their choice.  It was great!  Here are some of the results:

You can see how the photos look with the backgrounds dropped in if you go to our school website.

The last dance of the night was called a broom dance, and it was a dance version of Musical Chairs, played with partners instead of chairs.  Lots of laughter!

Oh, and we didn't clean up the gym.  The custom is to leave it up for the children who were too young to come to prom and have a "Kiddie Prom" on Monday.  After having the lunchroom/gym closed off to them for a whole week, the kids will be invited into the grand ballroom and rock out to the music cranked, play with the balloons, and partake in leftover refreshments.  Should be a blast!
