Goodpasture Christian School is planning a spring formal for Friday, April 11. This event is for all juniors and seniors, along with their dates, and will be hosted at the Barn at the Bend. Rather than just being a prom, the organizers have decided to make this event an elegant affair.
“We don’t decorate like a prom, so a theme doesn’t really matter. We make sure the place is elegant with flowers and candles and such,” English teacher Becky Boyd.
To get the students excited and to add to the fun, there will be a DJ to keep the vibe going. Although it is usually allowed, the organizers have yet to make a decision on whether or not students can make reasonable song requests.
The students, especially seniors, can look forward to fun activities, including hearing the humorous “silly senior superlative announcements.” Some of the senior superlatives included “Best Dressed and Best TikTok.” There will also be a special senior walk. This is where we recognize and give the seniors their spotlight. The organizers expect to include some changes to some of the activities, but for now, they remain a mystery.
The catering for the event will be provided by McConnell’s Catering, owned by English Teacher Carmen McConnell’s husband, and the organizer says the company has made wonderful food for decades. This will be provided during a sit-down dinner for students to enjoy while they socialize with their classmates and friends.
People attending prom are looking forward to many things at prom; most are looking forward to hanging out with friends.
Senior Addi Ruffin said that she is looking forward to dressing up in an aqua-colored dress. Senior Caroline Batson says she is looking forward to taking cute pictures in a green dress and spending time with friends after prom.
Junior Jordyn Wright is looking forward to her first prom. She says that she wants a pink dress and is excited to hang out and enjoy the experience.
This event will be a night of eventful and elegant fun, giving the students a chance to socialize with their peers and enjoy the night with friends and dates.
