Susky Preps for Prom

April 4, 2022

The seniors are getting their dream prom, a true “Fairytale,” this year.

The theme of this year’s prom is “Fairytale” or “Once Upon a Time,” in light of returning to a traditional prom format at the Valencia Ballroom in May.

Junior class council co-vice president Evelyn Weldon supports the council’s theme choice.

“We had other themes such as Under the Sea, the Great Gatsby, etc., ¨ Weldon said. ¨However, the theme fairytale was at the highest of our list from the very start.¨

Alongside Weldon, junior Haley Hebel, president of class council, wanted the council to keep a simple goal in mind.

“We wanted to have a fun but [have a] simple prom theme that people could enjoy,” Hebel said “We also wanted a theme that was different from past years.”

Prom will be held at the Valencia Ballroom in York, Pennsylvania on May 7.

Tickets will be sold for $60 and will be on sale April 7 to April 22.

“[The tickets] include a buffet of food from choices of salads, sides, different pastas and dessert,” Weldon said. “It also includes a DJ, and the ballroom.”

“I am looking forward to seeing the dresses,” Weldon said, “[Not many seniors and no juniors] went to the prom last year, allowing everyone to be extra excited about the prom this year. I think the dresses will be unique and hopefully most will match the theme of fairytale.”
