May 30 was a
special evening that will be etched into the memories of the children at
Jackson-Feild Homes forever. The Robinson-Withers Gym was transformed
into an undersea world as residents celebrated the 2015 Prom.
The theme was
Beneath the Sea of Enchantment. Students in the art program prepared the
decorations that hung throughout the gym. The boys and girls were
gussied up in evening gowns and tuxedos and looked great.
A great deal of
hard work was done prior to the event to ensure it would be a success.
Staff members met with children do discuss self-awareness and prom
etiquette. Girls received had their hair and nails done by a JFH friend
who performed these services at a greatly discounted cost. The DJ for
the event, Craig Mangrum, is a staff member who also provided his
services at a discount. The table decorations were loaned by Wootton
Brothers Greenhouse. The Home's food service staff prepared all the food
for the event taking a special interest in making special treats for
the occasion. The Fairy Godmother program provided prom dresses, shoes
and accessories for the girls. A photographer shoots prom photos for the
boys and girls as a memory of this evening.
Prom is a rite of
passage for most teenagers is a spring. Jackson-Feild's staff members
were committed to ensuring that their children would have this special
opportunity and worked hard to make it a night that the residents will
cherish for a lifetime.
