Jonathan Law senior Olivia Franzman is a class officer and a member of a group of students and staff who are looking into the possibility of having a prom in the spring and what the prom with look like with COVID-19 protocols. Advocate Social Media Editor Tyanna Xavier interviewed Franzman about the prospects of prom.

Tyanna Xavier: Have there been any conversation about seniors having prom?

Olivia Franzman: The class officers have meetings about every other week to discuss the possibilities for the 2021 prom. We have been discussing possible options and what could be able to happen with any COVID restrictions. 

TX: Who is in charge of the way prom would be set up? 

OF: From my understanding Mrs. Francisco, our class advisor, administration, and the class officers will be all working together to plan a prom and maybe asking other seniors to help us with any of the restrictions that we have to follow, but we will work together to plan the best night possible.

TX: How would you feel as a senior if prom were not to happen? 

OF: I think I would be really upset if prom were to be officially cancelled because I think prom is a very significant thing that every high schooler gets to experience. It would be pretty upsetting if we never got to experience that.

TX: If prom were to happen, what would be the most important thing for students to know? 

OF: If prom was to happen, which I am very confident it will, I think every student needs to make sure they know when it’s happening and what the COVID restrictions will be so that we can make sure it can happen safely.

TX: Are there any teachers that have helped encourage the idea of prom in the student council? 

OF: Mrs. Francisco and Ms. Russell have done an amazing job helping the class office think of possible ideas for a safe prom that we could have. They continue to help us gather ideas and brainstorm what we could do at the end of the year.
