One of high schoolâs most memorable events is prom. This year, amid the pandemic, some schools opted to cancel proms altogether due to the potential for exposure. Instead of missing out on such an important event, students and parents were creative in their efforts to make the special day happen.
âEven if it was masks, social distance, I am OK with that. Iâm sure a lot of other teenagers would be OK with that. All the other districts in our area are having a prom,â said Sammy Cristerna who attends Perry High School. He sits on the student body governing board and said to ABC15 that he and his classmates had been planning a prom for months.
