On Sunday, June 2nd, students from the Marcia D Smith School and individuals supported by CSS enjoyed a magical evening during the Prom and Spring Formal. This event celebrates the MDS School graduates and welcomes transitioning youth who will be joining CSS this summer.
Gasps of delighted surprise could be heard from those walking down the star and flower lined hallway. Attendees entered through golden gates festooned with paper flowers to be greeted by a transformed gymnasium. The stars and sparkles were only outshone by the enjoyment in students’ eyes.
After everyone had arrived, those graduating from the Marcia D Smith School and others entering the adult program this summer were recognized and together they commenced a dance symbolizing their entrance to CSS.
Everyone had been talking about the upcoming dance for weeks; it’s one of the favorite events at CSS. For a special treat, DJ MadMax mixed up an excellent setlist and played everyone’s favorite music throughout the night. Food and drinks were in abundance; attendees enjoyed pizza and snacks served by volunteers.
It wasn’t all about the dancing and food. Prom is truly about making memories with one another. Party goers enjoyed drinks and snacks with friends and family. Laughter could be heard as people began to disperse for the evening. Even as the room began to empty, Pia and Caitlin were still seen on the dance floor and were some of the last to leave. When the night ended, everyone left smiling, faces aglow from a cosmic evening under the stars.
You can view pictures from the event online.
And there is a video online that you may watch.
Decorations were donated by families and the Landon School. Volunteers worked tirelessly throughout the weekend and without them none of these memories would be possible. Thank you.
