Mount Vernon Community Schools

Planning has begun for this year’s Post Prom event. This special event created to give our high school students a safe, fun place to continue celebrating together after prom.

To make Post Prom happen, we need to raise $14,285.

We want to be completely transparent about where those funds go. Our goal isn’t simply to put on an event—it’s to create a memorable night for our students, and especially to make sure that every student who attends has the opportunity to win a prize.

Where does the $14,285 go?
Funds raised will help cover:

Post Prom venue – providing a safe and welcoming space for the event
Food & drinks – keeping our students fueled throughout the evening
Entertainment & activities – creating a fun night students will actually want to attend
Prizes for students – the majority of our fundraising goal will go toward prizes, with the goal of giving every student attendee a chance to win something
We believe Post Prom is a wonderful community tradition, but it takes a community to make it happen.

How can you help?
There are several ways to get involved:

💰 DONATE
Every contribution helps us get closer to our $14,285 goal. Whether you can give $10, $50, $100 or more, it all adds up.

🤝 VOLUNTEER OR GET INVOLVED
We’re looking for parents, families and community members who would like to help with planning, fundraising, setup, the event itself, or other needs as they come up.

🎓 STUDENT POST PROM COMMITTEE
This year, we’re also excited to introduce a new opportunity for students to have a direct voice in Post Prom!

We want to form a Student Post Prom Committee made up of high school students who can help us:

Share ideas for activities and entertainment
Give input on prizes students would actually be excited to win
Help us spread the word and encourage student participation
Bring student perspective to the planning process
Find creative ways for students to be involved in making Post Prom a success
After all, this night is for the students, so we want them to have a seat at the table as we plan it. Students who are involved qualify for volunteer hours!

Our goal: $14,285
We know $14,285 is a big goal—but we also know what can happen when a community comes together for its students.

We hope you’ll consider donating, volunteering, joining the planning efforts, or simply sharing this message with someone who may want to help.

Together, we can give our students one more great night to celebrate with their friends—and make Post Prom a night they’ll remember.

Thank you for supporting our students and our community!
