WASHBURN NEWS
Washburn District High School held the 2016 Senior Prom on Saturday, May 14, 2016. The theme for this year’s prom was Paris, featuring an impressive Eiffel Tower.
The Prom this year offered valet parking. As arrived they stepped out of their vehicles onto a red carpet leading into the school. Their arrival was announced and filmed for those already inside to see.
KC and Company played scenes of Paris on a large video screen accompanied by French café music during dinner. Dinner was catered by Dominos Pizza.
Then the students had a lip sync contest, a hula hoop Contest and a limbo contest.
Organizers said a lot of hard work went in into creating this evening and the results were magnificent. Thank you to all involved..
