Jonathan Law’s junior prom was a tremendous success from dancing to food to the beautiful weather.

The event was was planned by Law’s Student Council.

Junior Jillian Bendlak, who is a part of the Student Council, said everyone worked hard and worked together.

“First we had to choose a venue. We chose Villa Bianca this year, we had some other choices but they ended up being too expensive so we thought this was the perfect choice,” Bendlak said

Villa Bianca proved to be a gorgeous outdoor venue, perfect for dancing the night away and attending events like prom or even a wedding.

“It was beautiful, it was outside and luckily we had a beautiful day with no rain,” Bendlak said.

Along with the appealing scenery there was a variety of delicious food served.

The variety of food included tacos, steak, pasta, appetizers, and, of course, dessert.

“We looked at the menu and looked at the different food styles so we would have four stations to choose from,” Bendlak said.

A lot of thought went into how the venue looked to all the students.

“After we got all that set up we got to go into more of the details like colors which were blue and silver, we got to choose flower arrangements and seating arrangements,” Bendlak said.

Months of preparation went into making this night great for everyone.

“We started planning in October and it took months,” junior Zach Anderson of the Student Council said. “After all the stress and hard work we put in it was all worth it in the end.”

Members of the Student Council were excited about being in charge of planning the prom.

“The fun part of planning prom was knowing that it was our own prom, and knowing that we had a hand in it all,” junior Lanie Ackley said

Before heading to the venue, many students met at the Green downtown to take pictures together.

“It was really fun seeing everyone dressed up and having fun,” Ackley said

Everyone had their own way of transportation from party buses to limos.

When arriving to prom, students were given their table numbers and received their prom favors.

“The night started off slow with people just socializing and eating,” Ackley said

Prom was filled with fun music and a photo booth.

“As the night progressed people started to get up and dance more, the pictures from the photo booth came out great and there were a lot of fun props to use,” Ackley said.
