After Prom 2015 will be Saturday, April 18, but we need your
help now to continue this community project. North Oconee will host the event
this year, and your help on the planning committee is essential and the need is
urgent. Parents have been meeting since the fall, but now is the time to bring
together the volunteers.
Nancy Hollett and Diana Beckett from NOHS are co-chairing
After Prom. They have created a Student Advisory Board that has met throughout
the fall, and the ideas from the students are re-energizing and re-inventing
After Prom. They need more adult members on the planning committee. Parents of
all NOHS students, not just juniors and seniors, are needed.
Parents of freshmen and sophomores, we need you to help with
After Prom! Your involvement now helps this year's seniors and juniors, who
want to see more of you at the event and less of their own parents! Get
involved in the planning committee so you can help insure the future of the
event for your students next year and beyond.
Their next meeting is Monday, January 26 at 7 pm at NOHS,
and it’s critical to have more people on board. Another six people from NOHS on
the committee are needed. You could even ask a friend and share a role on the
committee.
Please see the list below for the currently open positions,
and volunteer to be a part of a planning “the best party of the year.” Contact
the co-chairs at afterpromoconee@gmail.com if you have any questions.
