Are you in need for something to wear for upcoming school events? The Prom Closet welcomes all grades to shop formal attire for upcoming events. Items will be available in the MPB from February 21 to the 23.
Prom Closet is an event put on by both the our Soroptimist Club as well as Pacheco High School’s Soroptimist Club. It is a great way for students to recycle formal clothes while also giving them to someone who may be looking for just that. With senior events, such as senior banquet, scholarship night, prom, and graduation coming up, things can get expensive. However, there is no need to worry. Prom Closet offers the perfect outfit for different events with no cost. Items range from dresses, suits, blazers, shoes, to handbags and makeup.
President of the club, Marissa Castaneda (12), said, “We know prom is a big event for seniors, and we are honored to give back to our community and provide free dresses, suits and accessories. We are also fundraising to raffle off prom tickets. Any purchase from the Cupcake Lady is greatly appreciated. Remember the proceeds could potentially end up going back to you with the prom ticket!”
The club plans to fundraise money by having the Cupcake Lady at the event in order to give away a prom ticket(s). The Cupcake Lady will be on school grounds on Wednesday, February 21 from 2:30 to 5:30. Each cupcake is $2.50.
Along with an opportunity to win a prom ticket, dry cleaning vouchers will be given out to anyone who takes a dress or suit from the event. Dresses and other items can be tried on in the fitting rooms set up by the Soroptimist Club in the MPB. There will also be mirrors and lighting to get a full overview of what you are taking home.
Prom Closet runs Wednesday through Friday after school. Thursday and Friday will both be two hours long from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Since Wednesday is early dismissal, the event will be held for an extra hour, starting at 3 p.m. If you are interested in making a pre-order for cupcakes, pick up a flyer from Mr. Herrera in room 38. However, note that the money for pre-orders will be due Tuesday, February 20.
