The Prom

For the past few weeks the seniors have been preparing for their prom (or Ball). They can be heard all around town blowing their whistles and saying "Who has a Ball?" . . . "(Insert name) has a Ball." This past week the excitement intensified since the proms were actually taking place. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening the center was full of people (the graduates, family, friends and onlookers) yelling and taking pictures - It's been crazy.

On Friday I went to one students pre-party with her family and then to our school's prom. I actually had not intended to go (I don't even teach the 12th class) but when I got there (to the hotel to take some pictures) the other teachers sucked me in. It was very interesting. Their prom is like a dinner and dance combined. It was especially fun seeing what was fashionable for the students to wear.

Hear are some photos:

This sign says "Chestit Bal" or "Happy Ball." This photo is from the gathering I went to with the family of one of our students who will be going to America for College in the fall.

This is her and her grandmother who entertained the guests with some poems she wrote for the occasion.
