PROM 101...

PROM 2012...It is called Mormon Prom. It happens every year in April. 16 stakes from around the South come together and it is WONDERFUL...Here is why...
The girls have their dresses approved by the Young Womens Leaders. I love this idea...Girls can be elegant, stylish and beautiful without showing off everything they have...shoulders are covered and the dress length is modest at the knee or below.
The kids all travel together in chartered buses with chaperones and no one is allowed to drive themsleves to and from the Prom. No chance of drunk drivng or "drunk" anything....yay!
This year it is at the Science Center at USC.
They are picked up by their parents after the dance in the church parking lot around 1 a.m. and taken to someones home who serves them breakfast and treats and lets them laugh, and play games and have fun until the bleary-eyed parents come and get them once again ...at 3 in the morning!
There is no "getting a room".
There is just  friends and dress up and fun....
LOVE IT!
