If you are wondering whether your student had fun at Post Prom, these photos should speak for themselves 🥳

* Please share feedback from your student about the evening below! It will help those who plan Post Prom next year to know what the students enjoyed.

Missing:

PHHS Theater’s red velvet rope and stanchions.

Casino workers mentioned that the custodian was in that area helping clean up tables / chairs. I’ve reached out to the Custodian to see if he may have put it somewhere.

But wanted to ask if any of our fabulously dedicated clean up crew may have grabbed it and stuck it somewhere extra safe!?

Melanie, Erica, Jennifer, Tabitha, Angie, etc…

To the Parents (and sibling students) who helped make set up last night happen…

THANK YOU.

When I say that we could not do it without you, I mean it.

If you were there, you know much much planning, building, love and energy goes into providing a safe place for our students to have some fun after their Junior/Senior Prom. There were dads with paintbrushes, siblings blowing up balloons, parents on motorized lifts, games being delivered, golf carts being decorated, tents being built and a vision that came to life.

We started at 2:30pm, and walked out at a little before 1am. It was a fantastic turnout of about 25-30 parents who came and said, “How can I help?”

♥️🎪♥️

What to expect tonight:

Please arrive by 10:00/10:30pm. You may park out front at the main hall entrance or the auditorium parking lot.

(I will be there earlier if you’d like to come before 10pm).

Arriving early will allow you to walk through to see everything your kids are going to enjoy as well as give you an opportunity to make sure you are good to go with your station and what will be needed from you to run your game!

Students will begin to trickle in around 11. It is usually slow going at first and then it quickly fills up.

WE ARE EXPECTING OVER 400 STUDENTS 😄

It will be a night they will remember forever, and is only made possible by people like you.

Clean up will begin at 1:30am, as soon as students are moved into the gym for prize drawings.

Please. Please. Please. Please…. Help with cleanup (or if you are not running a game, feel free to come help with clean up beginning at 1:30am).

Clean up is quick and easy when we have an “all-hands-on-deck” approach to getting the work done.

We all share a common goal:

To put on a fun night for our kids… and then go home.

Your help is essential and appreciated very much.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to text me:

I checked the ticket sale report yesterday and we have sold more tickets for Post Prom than EVER before in the many years that I’ve done this.

👏🏼 Our kids are excited 👏🏼

…and I am too!

I will be at the high school this afternoon to bring some (ok, a ton) of things from my house and a lot of stuff out of the basement of the school to stage for post prom set up next Friday.

If anyone is willing or available to help, let me know. I’d love to have help with staging and organizing.

There’s a lot to do.

Feel free to text me 317-408-8863 if you’d like to come help.

🦛 Human Hungry Hungry Hippos 🦛

Lori… are you and Bryan still up for hosting Human Hungry Hungry Hippos?

❓ Are you available for set up on Friday night and Saturday for the event and tear down?

❓ I thought maybe we could do 4 colors of panels in your room similar to a “game board”. Is that ok?

We still have the balls and baskets from one of the previous years.

We are getting the wheeled scooters from the Elementary school, so your supplies should be covered unless you want to add anything else to the room decor.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

13/04/2022

💰 Deal or No Deal 💰

Tabitha & Angie… are you ladies still planning to host Deal or No Deal?

❓Are you able to help Friday with set up and then Saturday with the event + tear down?

❓We will not have a Casino, so does Rob want to be the banker?

I am 99% sure we have the “briefcases” from last year in the school basement. I will go look this week and confirm.

❓ Do you want to have gold and black panels like they had last year?

Any questions or concerns?

13/04/2022

👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻 The Newlywed Game 🤵🏻👰🏼‍♀️

Tirzah & Laurie…

Are you ladies still planning on hosting The Newlywed game?

Questions:

❓ Are you available Friday night for set up, Saturday for the event and tear down?

❓ The room is decorated with colorful panels; I was thinking pink and purple for “love” 💖💜. Is that ok or would you prefer different colors?

❓ Do you want any other decorations for the room? Feel free to purchase and I can reimburse or let me know what you’d like to have purchased.

❓ Do you need white boards/markers/etc?

❓Do you have questions prepared for your contestants or do you need help with that?

Please confirm below and let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

11/04/2022

We are getting close to the main event!

🎡🎪🤡🪄🎠🎟

I want to share a few updates:

✅ Prom and Post Prom tickets are on sale. If your student wants to attend both events, they need to buy both tickets. Ladies that helped with the Princess Day fundraiser will receive a free Post Prom ticket. They still need to purchase a PROM ticket.

✅ The early morning text message reminders about ticket sales are NOT associated with this group. Those notifications are sent via school messenger; this group is a Parents Post Prom Planning group.

✅ Students will not receive a physical ticket to either event. I strongly recommend making sure your student has a copy of the ticket purchase receipt on their phone or printed just in case. While I’d like to believe that technology is accurate and reliable, as humans, we can make errors. Please, as a safeguard, make sure you get an electronic receipt for your purchase and reach out if you have concerns about your transaction.

🎪 DETAILS:

We will begin transforming the high school immediately after school on Friday May 6th. We complete the transformation by the end of the night so there is nothing left to do on Saturday but enjoy the day with our Juniors and Seniors, take lots of pictures, see them off to dinner and then work the event.

🎤 The more people we have to help with set up and tear down, the better. I understand that most people have to work, (and probably aren’t as ridiculous as me, taking a 1/2 day for this 😵‍💫) so feel free to arrive as your evening schedule permits. I can assure you, we will need the help 😀

This entire event has been planned by a handful of people. Having help {beyond} the core group is essential. We have been doing some form of purchasing supplies and decor, reserving last minute vendors, coordinating financials, building activities, painting props and taking measurements almost daily. If you have any capacity and willingness to be part of it, please reach out.

We have so many fun games, activities and vendors and prizes planned! I am grateful for those donors that have been willing to come forward with financial support.

If you are in charge of a game room or area on Saturday night, please make sure you are available for set up and tear down. I’ll be confirming with activity owners this week to make sure you are still committed and/or require a replacement worker.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Today was our 👑 Princess Day Fundraiser 👑 event and it was a success!!

Thank you to all of the ladies that dressed up and participated as Princesses as well as the Moms that were there to help! We could not have done it without each of you.

25 little girls came to our event, made bracelets, ate cake pops and became “real life princesses” in the blink of an eye. 💕

Post Prom is 1 month away!!

For every dollar that is donated to PHHS Post Prom 2022, they will donate {at least} a 22% match! If $1,000 total dollars are donated, they’ll give over $220. If $5,000 is donated, they’ll give over $1,000 additional dollars!

If you have never experienced a traditional PHHS Post Prom, take a look at the photos below or ask an Arabian Alumni - it’s incredible! Students not only have a ton of games and entertainment, they also have a chance to win fantastic prizes like TVs, Apple Watch, Air Pods, Dorm Fridge, Gift Cards and so much more!
