Each year, teenage students count down the days until prom, what they consider to be one of the most important nights of their young lives. Sadly enough, prom, in many cases, is the last night of their lives. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, on average, 5200 teenagers are injured and 48 are killed in automobile crashes nationwide during a typical prom weekend.

Over 800 Lake Forest High School Students and their dates attend the LFHS Prom. In addition to promoting students’ safety with a longstanding tradition of zero-tolerance for drugs and alcohol, Lake Forest High School requires students to travel by bus, to and from prom. The Junior Class raises funds each year to cover the cost of these buses to promote a safe and enjoyable night for all and that’s where you can help!

This year, it is estimated that 18 buses will be used to transport prom-goers at an estimated expense of $24,000. The Junior Class works diligently to raise funds for prom through ticket sales, shared proceeds from the “Be True to Your School” auction and various other activities. However, the Junior Class cannot raise enough money to cover the entire cost of the buses. Recognizing this, it is our hope that, with your help, we will be able to continue providing safe transportation to this year’s prom for all of our students.

We are asking you to please help in supporting “Project Safe Prom 2013”. A  donation form is available HERE and at the school office. Please complete the form and return it to Jennifer Knight at the high school with your check or credit card donation. If by chance funds raised are greater than the cost of the buses, the difference will be donated to LEAD/Speak Up! and CROYA, community organizations focused on serving our youth and promoting healthy life choices.

If you have any questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Junior Class Sponsor, Jennifer Knight, (847) 582-7334 or Project Safe Prom co-chairs Sheila Cavalaris at sgc881@yahoo.com, Patti Frain at pattifrain@comcast.net or Beth Roberts at tadr1rob@aol.com. Your donation will help make LFHS Prom 2013 another safe and memorable evening. Thank you in advance for your support on behalf of the Junior Class.
