Valley After Prom


2008-09 Valley After Prom
May 9, 2009
11:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. (following the Valley Prom)
Jordan Creek Town Center


Welcome to the Valley After Prom page.  This is the place to come for up-to-date information about After Prom 2009.  After Prom is a drug free, alcohol free party for the students where they can have a fun, safe night with friends.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE AFTER PROM?
Lots of fun things! This year's entertainment will include a bungee jump, mini golf, wax hands, airbrush tatoo artist, photo booth, bungee run, gladiator joust, ping pong and a return hypnotist performance by Ray Thompson. 

All kinds of prizes will be given away; TVs, IPODS, DVDs, lap top computer, digital cameras, hundreds of gift certificates, cash prizes and more! Every student who attends After Prom will also receive his or her own CD of photos of the night as a memento (compliments of Thomas/Bruce Photography). 

WHO CAN ATTEND?
All juniors and seniors with their dates. There is no cost to the students and it is not necessary to attend the dance.  Students need to arrive between 11:30 and 12:30.  NO ONE IS ADMITTED AFTER 12:30pm.   Students may leave at any time but will not be allowed to return.

DONATIONS
Although After Prom is free for students, it requires 100% funding from parents, local businesses and corporations.  All money received will go directly towards entertainment, prizes, food and beverages.

Every senior and junior family is respectfully asked to give $40 per student.   If you have already donated, thank you! If you have not donated yet, please consider doing so. You can mail your contributions to :
