****Important info for prom****

I keep getting people messaging me to see about prom tickets saying they were not able to get them before our deadline. I had said I would not do tickets at the door but with the amount of messages I am receiving and asking for tickets I will extend sales and allow people to purchase at the door. We tried to prevent this because we have a hard time getting someone to stay at the door and collect from everyone. Please pass the word on. If you have not gotten your tickets yet you can get at the door. I have a couple parents that will be in charge of this at the door of prom. Everyone must enter and pay or give a ticket to get in. Students will be given a wristband once they are at prom to show they paid. Parents coming to watch and spectators will be charged the $5.00 a person at the door as well.

Senior March is going to start at 8 pm and then prom court and crowning will be immediately after that. All seniors will need to check in at the door so we can make sure that you are on the list for senior March or prom court to line you up. Lineup will start at 745pm. Please make sure you are there by this time.

We have several parents asking to come chaperone prom. As much as I am grateful for all the volunteers for this, we really needed volunteers for other things but at this time, I am very good on chaperones at this time. We have over the amount we need for this and I am not taking anymore chaperones at this time, I'm sorry. We want the kids to enjoy themselves and we will have plenty of chaperones there the night of prom. We can not take anymore at this time. Thanks for all the messages asking to volunteer for this though.

One last thing*** THE PROM, ORGANIZERS, CHAPERONES, OR BUILDING OWNERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ALCOHOL CONSUMED BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER PROM. WE ARE NOT SELLING OR SERVING ANY ALCOHOL AT PROM. **** we are not checking cups brought in or anything like that. Students are allowed to come and go from the building but we will not allow loitering or congregating in the parking lot. The acadia parish sheriff office will be in the vacinity if we see any disturbances or problems and will be called if necessary. If we see anyone intoxicated and are driving we will pull the keys from them and a parent will be called. If the student does not cooperate in this we will be forced to have acadia parish sheriff's office do their job and deal with it. This is for the safety of everyone at prom. I want you all to have fun but do it responsibly please. Parents make sure and take note WE are simply putting prom on, not serving or selling alcohol at prom. I know lots of parents allow their kids to drink and are ok with it but we are not responsible if they consume any alcohol before, during, or after prom. Any questions please let me know. Thanks everyone!!

Need input from our seniors who are walking for senior March and for prom court at prom. It was suggested that the seniors walk to a certain song that symbolizes their class during senior March. What song would you all like to have played in the background during senior March?

Also it was suggested that instead of us allowing everyone that enters prom to vote on prom king and queen that it be just the senior students who get a ticket to vote for prom king and queen. Last year we did a prom king and queen that the community voted on and then a vote from the senior class for a second king and queen. This year we are only doing one king and queen. Give me yall thoughts on this and how yall want it done. The majority will be what we will go with.
Everyone on prom court will get prom sashes to wear the night of prom so I need to know if all members of prom court will be there before we put names on them. Message me and let me know you will be in attendance or you will not have a sash the night of prom please. I need this response asap.
Thanks and we are only 19 days away. Yay!! I can't wait!!

01/04/2023

If anyone needs prom tickets I'll be at the Le Vieux Presbytère Museum in church point from 12 til 3:30 today. Come and get them. Today is the deadline for ticket purchases.

25/03/2023

Don't forget, deadline for prom tickets will be April 1st. We will not be selling tickets at the door this year. I have been asked if parents and visitors coming to watch the prom king and queen crowning and Sr March will have to pay again this year to get in. The answer is yes. Those entering the door to watch will have to pay. I am going to have someone at the doors collecting for this again this year. It will be $5.00 a person just like last year. Miss Rose Espree said she will be in town this weekend if anyone needs tickets. She can meet you in town. Breya Matte , timberly Antoine, Star Antoine, Carlee Yammarino hunter yammarino all have tickets to sell also. Don't wait til we stop selling tickets to ask for them. Get them now. Thanks everyone!

17/03/2023

I just want to clarify something for prom.. I have tons of people messaging me tonight to see if they will get free tickets for prom. The posts from the very beginning said, the requirement for free tickets were you had to sell at least 20 burger tickets and volunteer to work at least one of the events we had. We had several weekends where students were given a chance to come and help sell burger tickets, to help with the bake sale, or to help work the burger sale. We only had a small handful of people who were able to make it. I understand lots of you had to work and I understand that it was hard for you all to make it. This was to try and get more students involved to try and make what we needed to try and get the prom funded. I'm sorry if you sold tickets but couldn't make it to help work any of the events. I tried to do this as fairly as possible beings so many people gave me trouble with trying to get this prom done. I have given almost everyone their tickets who have worked and sold tickets. I have a couple more people on my list to give their tickets. Please get with Hunter yammarino, Breya Matte, Taj Richard, Star Antoine (Timberly) to get your prom ticket. They are 20.00 a person 35.00 a couple. I put it as low as possible for everyone. As of right now it looks like we will have a small prom unless people start buying tickets. Regardless, we will have a great time. I just want to clarify this because I keep getting several messages in my inbox to see if they can get free tickets. I hope this clarifies it for everyone and I can't wait to see everyone on April 22nd.

06/03/2023

We want to thank Yvette Tyler for her donation towards prom . We will be making the announcement this afternoon for the business that donated the most and will be crowning our prom King and queen this year. I can't wait to share this with everyone.

If they can not make it those days we will have them at the burger sale Sunday to purchase. Thanks everyone!

01/03/2023

Calling our bakers, and friends and family of juniors and seniors of Church Point. We were asked if we would have some sweets that people can buy for the burger sale this Sunday. We are looking for baked goods to be donated to sale for the burger sale Sunday. If you can help us with this we would appreciate it very much.

We are also looking for long ice chests to be able to use on Sunday also to put the bbq burgers in after they are made. If you have any we would appreciate it also and return as soon as it is over. Thanks everyone.

01/03/2023

For the Jr/sr students wanting to attend prom in Church Point, Mrs Carlee Yammarino has said that she would be available Thursday and possibly Friday to sell tickets for prom if anyone is interested and can not make it Sunday to but them. She will let me know when she is available tomorrow so I can post the info for you all. Everyone must have a ticket to enter. No exceptions.!! For the ones who volunteered and worked and sold the 20 tickets for bbq burgers I have your name on the list for the free tickets and will be handing them out a couple weeks before prom. We will also name the business that gave the biggest donation this Sunday. They will be the ones to crown our prom King and Queen for prom. The deadline is Sunday for businesses that wanted to donate to crown our king and queen for prom. I can't wait to announce who it will be. Stay tuned.

18/02/2023

We want to thank Richard Volunteer Fire Dept for helping out and loaning us the use of the bbq pit for prom bbq burger sale. They are another proud sponsor of our Jr/Sr Prom this year.

18/02/2023

Those still needing to turn in bbq tickets and money for Prom I will be available today to meet and get them. I'm trying to get final counts together. Please let me know asap when you will be available to meet. Pass this on please. We still have lots not turned in and accounted for. I'll be at kwik stop at 10 this morning handing over money to winners from football pool if anyone wants to meet me then. If we do not have money or tickets by Tuesday afternoon or the student get in touch with me to make arrangements I will have no choice but to add the student to the blocked list for prom and the student will not be allowed entry to prom. Please get with me asap if you still have tickets or money. I do not want to post individual names on Facebook. I know we are all busy but I need to get the stuff ordered and get a final count asap. Right now we have 426 burgers sold. Last year we had nearly 1000 sold. I am proud of the students who went above and beyond to sell as many tickets as possible. I pray that we have a good bit of people stop in to purchase on the day of our burger sale. 🍔 I want you all to have a great prom.

24/01/2023

I have spoken to several students in the senior class and they felt it would be better for everyone to do a Google doc form for people to nominate and select who they want for prom court this year. So many people are working and busy these days it would be hard for people to go to a location and vote for who they feel deserves to be on prom court. I created a form that you can go and nominate 10 boys and 10 girls for prom court. I am opening up nominations today until February 1st. All you have to do is go to the link and fill in the nominations and submit it. I will Talley up all votes and show the court nominations on February 2nd. Anyone can go and vote but only one vote per email address will be allowed to count. Please spread the word.

Rules:
1)Has to be a senior in good standing at Church Point High

Here is the link to nominate who you feel deserves to be on prom court this year.

Prom Court Nominations

20/01/2023

We still have tons of squares left to sell. Please share and ask friends and family to help fill the board up. If we can not sell them all we will have to refund money. This money is for expenses for prom. Just to let you all know.. hall was 550, dj is 650, decorations are 2300, food, and drinks will be another 300 or so. Please help us make this possible for you all to have prom. I will also have bbq burger tickets for anyone who would like to sell them this Saturday at Cafe maison from 10-12.

Please use the photo below and make a post on your page or any other social media you all do and ask friends, and family to help you fill the squares. I have been selling them by doing this on my page every so often. We have over 200 jrs and seniors this year. Please help make this possible so that you all can enjoy prom. Thanks.

19/01/2023

We will have bbq burger tickets available to start selling this weekend for prom. I will be going to Cafe Maison this Saturday from 10 til noon if anyone wants to stop by and pick up tickets to start selling. Remember we have to pay for hall, dj, prom decorations, and food and drinks. Please help make this possible by doing your part. If you agree to take books of bbq burger tickets to sell, you will be responsible for the money and tickets. I have spoken to Jeff and we will use them as a drop off location. Each person picking up tickets will have an envelope with tickets inside and your name will be on the envelope and the numbers corresponding to your tickets. When you turn it in, make sure you turn in the envelope with money and everything on the envelope please. This is a way to keep track of who volunteered and worked for free admission into prom. We will also be contacting Locations in town to set up a table and try to sell in front of the stores on weekends. If you want to do this please let me know who will be in your group and we will let you know locations that will allow us to set up and you can pick where you want to go.
Please pass the word to all Juniors and Seniors so that we can try to sell as many as possible before the date of bbq burger sale.

More info coming soon on squares for football pool and also the town business sponsorships.

14/01/2023

OK everyone, if you know a church point Jr or senior please have them follow this page. I will be posting updates here. Today we had a good meeting to discuss plans for prom. We will plan to do a BBQ burger sale on March 5th at Mr. Henry's carwash again in CP. We are in the process of printing tickets to distribute to anyone who would like to help us sell them. We booked the American Legion Hall in Church point for April 22nd from 6-12 for the prom. We need to try to sell all the football squares to try and get this done before the super bowl game. Please spread the word and post it on your page. Anyone can buy the squares they don't have to be from church point. We have the dj from last year who will dj this year and we have Greg Bellard who will be our photographer this year. We will be ordering the written in the stars prom decorating kit from Andersons.com online. We did talk today about possibly getting some of us parents together and making some finger foods for the students to enjoy at prom this year so if you would like to do this please let me know.
I am also looking for some Jr/Sr students to be In charge of helping me organize everything and being the point of contact for students to get information. I have a few seniors who said they would volunteer.
I did want to also clarify something that was brought to my attention today as well. I made a post about doing prom and I said I would hope to raise enough money so that it is a free prom for the students. What I mean by this is... if you help, volunteer, and work for any of the events such as selling 20 bbq tickets, making signs and posters, work the bbq burger sale, help decorate for prom, or any other thing we have between now and prom your name will go on the list and you will have a free ticket to prom. This is to be fair that the students are putting in the work and effort to make this prom happen. I did the same thing last year for those who helped and volunteered. This prom is for you all to have a great time. Everyone needs to try and pitch in to help if you can. We have some students who will soon start hitting businesses in town to try and get sponsorships again this year to help with prom. This counts as working. All I ask is help to make this prom happen. If you do not help I'm sorry but you will have to pay for your ticket to prom.

We also spoke about whichever business in town or any business who donates the most to the prom will be invited to come to prom and have the honor of crowning our prom King and Queen and be in the newspaper. We are only doing one prom king and queen this year.

We will have a prom nomination date as soon as we can figure this date out we will announce it. We will most likely do it at Cafe Maison and set up a box when anyone can come in between a set time and vote for who you would like to nominate for prom court. We will pick 10 girls and 10 boys. Then prom night the Jr and Srs in attendance will get to vote for their choice of who they feel should be prom king or queen.

If anyone has any questions please let me know. This should be all the info for now please share the football squares on your page to try and get these sold. Thanks everyone for allowing me to do this again. I really can't wait to see it all come together and hope that you all will make tons of memories together that night.

14/01/2023

If you are available tomorrow at 10 am we will be at Cafe maison in church point for a meeting to discuss ideas and fundraisers for church point prom. The prom has absolutely nothing to do with church point high school. They do not host prom any longer. It is put on by parents. Last year we put it on and it was a great turn out and lots of fun. I am hoping with enough help and support this year will be bigger and better than last year if possible. Please pass the word so that any students or parents who want to help know we will meet. I will also have the football pull squares there as well. Anyone wanting to purchase some can come and pick your square and pay for it. Hope to see you all in the morning.

11/01/2023

Anyone looking to buy squares for superbowl?? We are doing a Superbowl pool to help raise money for Prom for Church Point students
2023. It will be $25 a square with $300 payout per quarter. We have venmo and cashapp. If you don't have these and still want to purchase We can meet this Saturday at Cafe Maison between 10-12. If you cash app or venmo make sure you put a name and phone number and the number you want to select. I will be updating the names on fb daily so people can see which ones are still available. Please help us spread this post so that we can sell all the squares. If we have lots of people interested after we sell the squares we can start a second sheet.

09/01/2023

Prom will be on April 22nd at American Legion Hall in Church Point. The community center went up way too much from last year. Beings we fundraise for it all I wanted to make sure that we stay in budget this year. These kids deserve a night of fun. Don't forget we will be meeting Saturday at 10 am at Cafe Maison to go over all the details and finalize everything for this year's event. Please come and give your ideas and suggestions and help make this another great Prom.

08/01/2023

Just a quick update. I got several messages and comments that the students would like the written in the stars theme for prom. This is what we will go with. We will try to make as much of the decorations as possible to keep cost down. The Dj will be the same dj as last year at the same price as last year his name is Daniel Wilson and everyone loved his setup and the music was great. I have asked Greg Bellard to do photography for the event so that we make sure the pictures or of great quality and everyone gets what they pay for. I will get with city hall this week and try my best to reserve the hall before it becomes unavailable. We will attempt to put it for April 29th as long as the day is available when we get some funds for it to reserve it.
We will plan to meet at Cafe Maison on next Saturday at 10 am to discuss the two fundraisers we will need to get started asap. I plan to print bbq burger tickets as soon as possible to hand them out to students so we can start selling them. I ask any juniors or seniors to speak to any family members who may have a business and see if they would donate towards prom costs. Last year we did this as a sponsorship and had a big banner printed with all the businesses that donated. We plan to do the same this year again. Businesses in Church point really showed their support and helped our cause out last year. I am hoping this year will be even bigger and more businesses help out.

07/01/2023

Feel free to post on this page if you have any suggestions or ideas. This is for the students and I want to make it what you all want.

07/01/2023

OK everyone, after a ton of messages and calls I have decided that I will help put a prom on for CPHS again this year. I wanted to make sure first nobody else was planning one before I posted anything. So I am thinking we will do April 29th. At the community center and I would like the feedback from everyone wanting to attend this year. I was thinking about doing a masquerade theme that kind of goes along with mardi gras and we can ask those decorating for events for mardi gras if they would donate any left over decorations to us so that we can use for prom to help keep the cost down. The dj we had last year has agreed to help us out again this year. The fee for the building and dj plus decorations and security and food and drinks will all have to be fundraisers. Last year the seniors and juniors really went above and beyond to raise money and work for it. The only way I will take this huge task on again is if we can get the students to be involved again this year like last year. I have a whole list of parents willing to help me with everything also. I am very happy about this. I would like to know which theme the students would like to go with. Options are :
1) Masquerade theme
2) starlit fantasy
3) your year to shine
4) postcards from Paris
5) written in the stars

I will try my best to get the money this week for the hall so that we can start planning. I have several people who messaged me about fundraising ideas. We will sell bbq burgers again this year, and we may collect items for a raffle as well. My plan is if possible to not have to charge an admission fee into the prom so that the kids can use this money on clothing or eating out with friends. If we can work hard and get with the businesses to help sponsor prom again this year it would really help a ton. I will be holding a meeting for anyone who would like to help with prom and give ideas or suggestions next Saturday, January 14th at 10 am at Cafe Maison in Church Point. Please come and stop by so that we can get this started asap and raise what we need to fund this prom. We will be doing prom king and queen again this year and I have some special surprises in mind again this year. Students will nominate and then vote on who they want to be on court. We will have 10 boys and 10 girls again this year. If anyone has questions or need any info please send me a message. I have been getting tons of messages about prom so if I do not respond right away I will message you back asap. Here is a picture of the themes I listed above for you all to decide on and choose from.

Last thing. I will be creating a fb page that I will post all updates on. If you are a junior or senior or a parent of a junior or senior please spread the word to go and follow the CPHS Prom 2023 Updates page. I will be creating it today. Please spread the word. Thanks!
