Tickets for Prom will be on sale from April 22 to May 17. No tickets will be available after this date due to the location needing final numbers. The Prom theme is Brocton Eras Tour highlighting our Seniors and Juniors through the years. It will be held on Friday, May 24th at the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel in Celeron NY from 6 pm to 11 pm. Dinner will be served at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $50 each and the permission slips that were sent home the week of April 15th are due at the time of purchase for all of those attending the dance. Each person will have to turn in a permission slip. Which gives you the option to drive or take the bus. If you have a guest coming from another school please fill out proper paperwork in the High School office. To purchase tickets please see Ms. Tye in room 106 during homeroom. Can't wait to see you there and party the night away!
**** Special Note:
If any students want to attend the dance but need a sponsor for tickets please see me and I will see what I can do to help you out. We have taken the cost of the place, DJ, and food and divided it by 80 hoping to keep the price down as much as possible but with that being said we understand hard times and I will do whatever I can so you can attend if you want to but can't due to price. So please let me know if you need a sponsor and I will see what I can do.
Thank you,
Ms. Tye
