What is the Flower Mound senior prom?
We’re diving into a fun topic that I’m asked about all the time: the Senior Prom in Flower Mound. My producer Ana joins me as we discuss this successful community event.
The senior prom started more than 10 years ago and was known as the ‘second time around prom’ for those who missed prom the first time around. Although this event fell apart during the pandemic, we revived it with the local YMCA in 2023 with a ‘Love Boat’ theme. It's a fun event, but what makes it even better is that it's also a fundraiser for kids to attend YMCA community events. Even though attendees are age 55 and older, high schoolers come to help and even join the fun.
This year, we’re excited for a 1950s theme with a nostalgic "Sock Hop” – envision diners, the movie ‘Grease’ and poodle skirts! You can buy a ticket through the YMCA, and for only $20 you get a full meal, dessert, dancing, live music, and raffle entries.
Anyone interested in joining a fun time that helps the community? Mark your calendars for April 12th from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Don’t wait to buy a ticket - demand is high.
