Post Prom Celebration

Maine South CELEBRATION 2011

MS Celebration 2011 is a parent/community sponsored, chaperoned, substance-free Post Prom Event designed to provide a safe and fun alternative to other private parties that are normally associated with post-prom.  Maine South seniors and their dates who attend the prom as well as seniors who choose not to attend the prom are invited.  Celebration is a traditional event that graduates look forward to as much as the Prom itself.  All seniors are encouraged to attend. 

Maine South Celebration 2011 will be held on Friday, June 3rd after the prom.

Celebration 2011 will feature the following events:

• Something for Everyone!  A fun-filled good time including dancing, playing video games, playing pool, bowling, a photo booth and spending quality time with your friends at the Brunswick Zone Center in Niles.  Pizza, snacks and soft drinks will be served. 
• A “Mystic Sunrise Cruise” on Lake Michigan, complete with breakfast and a DJ. 
• All transportation between venues on Coach buses.
