Senior Proms

[Anonymous]

What is your school planning, if anything? Our school is talking about an in-person, inside event and I think it is crazy.

Yes!!!! We’re planning one. Seniors only; no outside guests. So happy for these kids. I would hate for them to be robbed of their final prom along with everything else.

There are going to be many super spreaders.

Why not do it outside at the very least?

Why no outside guests? They can get a test—there have almost instant tests now. Seems unfair if your boyfriend/girlfriend is at another school.

Exactly. Let’s not put the cart before the horse here.

Rapid tests aren't accurate. Even PCP tests are only helpful if you quarantine for 3-5 days before the test (since the test won't pick up recently acquired infections) and continue to quarantine until the dance. No one would do that for prom.

St. Andrew's is holding an outdoor movie night (with food trucks) in lieu of a prom. Honestly, my DS thinks this sounds better than a traditional prom.

Having said that, with all the vaccines available now, it seems like a prom could be held in June. (I always wondered whey the prom had to be held so early - April seems too early to me.)

It's a non-issue. The kids will be vaccinated. Very excited that they are going to have a prom this year.
