Prom
 The date of prom has been moved. Clearly, when this “Stay at Home” order is lifted, our amazing hosts at Crimson Lane will be booked every weekend for a long time. So, we were able to get a week night date, after school will be done for the summer.

 The new date is Monday, June 15. We wanted everyone to have that date. We do have some other options should this not work for some reason.
