Gregory Hill Hosts First-Ever Preschool Prom
Apr 16, 2025
While Westy students were preparing for their prom last weekend, Gregory Hill students were having a prom of their own. Teachers conceived the idea of a Preschool Prom and set to work planning the special event for their students.
The school gym was decorated with a red carpet, a photo booth, and glittering balls. The 3- and 4-year-olds arrived in style, sporting colorful dresses, suits and ties, intricate hairstyles, and even corsages and boutonnieres.
The Kidz Bops tunes played loudly as colored lights flashed. Children took turns posing in the photo booth with props and playing with friends. Some danced with classmates and teachers; others watched or showcased their break- dancing skills. Each dance session concluded with cookies and juice in their classrooms.
