It's time to organize the after prom committee. We are searching for parents and community members interested in helping this year. This is a wonderful event that provides our students a safe place to go after prom. The planning committee is forming soon, and it takes several people to organize it. This is an event that was created by parents and community members and has continued to be organized by wonderful volunteers. Prom is April 26. Please contact Mrs. Shumaker if you are interested in getting involved. You can call the school or email. Email: lrshumak@k12.wv.us.
