TR Prom, Pormenade, and Post-prom Great
Night
The weather was perfect for the annual
Thunder Ridge Junior/Senior banquet and
prom Saturday evening. The theme for the
evening was "Midnight Masquerade" and
the gym was decorated appropriately. The
Kensington Community Store catered the
banquet and also provided the drinks for
the post-prom later in the evening. Many
spectators were out for the Promenade to
see the students dressed in their formal
attire and also to watch the procession
of the various "vehicles" used to
transport those attending. The dance for
students and their dates followed.
The post-prom was held at the Middle
School gym in Agra this year and was
well attended until it closed at 3 p.m.
Some breakfasts were served after the
post prom making a short night of sleep
if they were planning to make it to
church. A good time has been reported.
