The Jonathan Law Senior Prom is being held on May 12 at Amarante’s in New Haven.

The senior class is super excited to finally have their Prom. Last year, Jonathan Law decided to switch Prom to senior year and Cotillion to junior year. 

“I think it will be a great turnout and I am hoping that a majority if not all of our grade attends,” senior class president Macie Rascoll said. 

The senior class is expecting to have about 200 students at Prom which will include the senior class and any guests students wish to bring. 

“The Senior Prom is an event that literally takes about a year to plan – there is a lot involved in the process,” Principal Mr. Darcy said. “Our senior class advisors, Mrs. Francisco and Ms. Russell, planned the event along with members of the senior class.”

The Prom venue was booked last year and the Prom Committee has been coming up with ideas since about February. 

“Students should expect a large, beautiful venue with a familiar Red Carpet theme where they will have tons of food, music, a photo booth, and loads of fun,” Rascoll said. 

Since each Prom typically has a theme, this year’s Prom will be a theme for seniors and by seniors. The hope is that everyone who attends Prom this year will remember this event for the rest of their lives. 

After Prom, students are invited to attend Post Prom at the Sports Center in Shelton.

“I’m most excited for Post Prom because it is going to be an enjoyable night with my class before we all graduate and we will be able to hangout all together,” senior Hailey Oliver said.

Students are super excited to make memories that will last forever together, since the Prom will mark one of the last events when they are together with their entire class. 

“Students can expect great food, photo booth fun, something to take home with them, poppin’ music from the best in-house DJ and so much more,” Fransisco said. 

The plan is to make this the best last dance for them by creating a theme that everybody likes as well as an environment that is super fun and inclusive.

“My sincere hope is that students understand this and live in the moment so they keep lasting memories as they move on to the next step in their life,” Darcy said.

The Prom Committee doesn’t want to give all of their secrets away about Prom but they are super pumped to create a fun atmosphere. 

“Since I was able to go to Prom last year I’m super excited to go again,” senior Jack Aliberti said. “Getting to go to the Sports Center and just having full and unlimited access to all that they offer is so cool.”
