The prom fashion show is one of the biggest fundraisers for prom and was held on Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. The idea of the prom fashion show was thought up by Marissa Heyer, the fashion teacher at FHN, when she took over as sponsor for the junior class delegates. It was an event where models showcased different clothes and they danced, sang or performed any other talent they had. There was also a raffle where people could win many different items. In addition, there will be a silent auction where people can rent or pay for many different items.

“People could come out and win a free prom ticket and some awesome baskets from Starbucks and multiple different places,” Heyer said. Delegates and Heyer worked together setting up and planning the fashion show. “[Mrs. Heyer] works with clothing designers to get them to donate dresses and suits for the models to wear, [where delegates] job is to reach out to all of the companies and talk with them to see if they could potentially sponsor or donate to us,” junior class president Colin Smith said.

Attendees were able to get tickets for the fashion show by contacting the models. The models were required to sell as many $5 tickets as they could. “[Overall] there were approximately 53 people in the audience,” Heyer said. “So far, the prom fashion show has raised 475 dollars, almost reaching their goal. ”All of the profit from the fashion show and silent auction will be used to help students who can not get a prom ticket due to financial reasons. “After we get the [students] to go, any additional money will also go into dropping the ticket prices,” Smith said. Any additional profit will be going into other costly things for prom. To keep up with any other information about prom visit the junior class delegates instagram page.
