Prom night can be one of the most dangerous nights in a child’s life. Nationally, 5,000 teenagers are injured on a typical prom night including approximately 48 teenager fatalities, 40% of which are alcohol relaters. After Prom is a tradition, started in 2002, to prevent such a tragedy from occurring in Oconee County to any of our children, providing them a safe and fun environment for the evening. After Prom will be April 21, 2012 at OCHS. There will be many activities for the kids; from a mechanical bull to a rock wall to a bungee pull to a giant dance party.

Never played Bunco before, that’s okay…you can be taught that night in about 2 minutes, rolling three dice is all there is to it. Tickets to Bunco For After Prom can be purchased in advance for $10 during the lunch periods at OCHS and NOHS on February 21, 22 and 23 or by contacting Julie Walters at 706.769.8681 or Julie@ClassicCenter.com. Tickets at the door will be $12.
