Plans are already in the works for this year’s Post Prom. 

​​Post Prom is an event at the Sports Center in Shelton where the senior class can have a fun time together after Prom. Students have free range of the entire Sports Center to play games, golf, play laser tag, ice skate, and more. 

“Some of the biggest hits there are definitely the driving range and laser tag but overall it’s a fun and awesome experience,” said senior Jack Alberti, who attended Post Prom last year as a junior.

Food is provided at the event which goes until about 1:30 a.m. It’s a great way to have fun with your friends and create memories from Prom. 

“I would say the best part of Post Prom was the raffle,” said senior Hailey Oliver, who attended Post Prom last year as a junior. “At the raffle there were a lot of cool prizes.”

Some prizes that were included at the raffle were TVs, speakers, gift cards, a printer, laptops, and more.

“The planning is still in the early stages and it is entirely run by parent volunteers,” senior parent Bridget Lawless said. “For the next several months we will be fundraising to pay for the venue, food and raffle prizes; then the night of the event parents will run the logistics of getting the students to and from the Sports Center and be on site as chaperones and run the raffles and food.”

This year’s Prom date is May 12, 2023, at Amarante’s in New Haven. Students will get to Post Prom on a bus directly from Prom.

“The committee has buses at Prom that will take them directly to the Sports Center or they go by limo or parent drop off,” past senior parent Susan Reed said. “No student can drive to Post Prom. They change at the Sports Center and then all students take the buses back to Law to get picked up or have cars there.”

The facilities are all provided by the Post Prom committee through donations from the Milford community. 

“My favorite thing that I did was probably walk around the whole place with my friends and hit every spot,” said senior Demi Carrapico, who attended Post Prom last year as a junior. “Personally, I absolutely loved laser tag because of how intense it was and how much fun everyone else around me was having.”

Lawless said the Post Prom committee is looking for volunteers to help plan the event. Anyone who would like to volunteer can email her at olaw2@optonline.net.
