The Sedan High School After Prom Committee will hold bingo at 6 p.m., Saturday evening, March 13, at the Fair Building. Juniors and seniors have been selling bingo tickets but there are plenty of seats still available. The evening will start off with minis and there will be several other fun games featured throughout the evening. A concession stand will sell some great food. No childcare will be provided this year.
Lucky bingo winners will receive gift baskets valued at about $25-$40. Some of the baskets that will be available include a football basket, movie, fishing, camping, cooking and several other great ones.
Baskets, food donations and volunteers are still needed; monetary donations are always welcome.
If you have signed up to provide a basket, please bring them that day or they can be dropped off this week with Nora Bane at the elementary school. Help will be needed that day to set up and workers are still needed that evening as well.
Juniors and seniors are reminded that they can earn After Prom money to purchase great items at the After Prom Auction by helping with Bingo and selling those tickets.
Two larger prizes will be offered this year including $500 in groceries from Floyds’ Market and a $100 gas card from Sedan One Stop.
Bingo is the main fundraiser the Sedan parents use in order to host the After Prom Party. The After Prom Party is held at the high school for Sedan juniors and seniors, along with their dates. Each year, parents, guardians, community members and businesses work together to provide the students a safe place to have fun, play games, win prizes and gather together in an environment completely safe from alcohol and drugs after the festivities of the Prom are over.
The Prom will be held at 7 p.m., Saturday, April 17. Money is needed to keep the kids entertained with some inflatable games, food and various prizes that they can bid on at the auction that will be enjoyed with breakfast early that Sunday morning after the prom. In years past, some prizes have included computers, TVs, lamps, telephones, radios, laundry supplies, and gift certificates. This year there will be similar items as well.
If you would like to donate a prize for the After Prom, donations can be brought to the school, to a meeting, or dropped off to a junior or senior parent.
