Plain’s school students outdid themselves on the decorations for the first Super Senior Prom that took place in the gymnasium last Wednesday.
What better way to honor the valley’s senior citizens than to celebrate with them during an afternoon of fun, socializing, dancing and snacking?
The idea of having an event to honor area senior citizens was first envisioned by Plains School Superintendent Kathleen Walsh. The plan blossomed into including help from student council members, teachers, aides and both kindergarten classes. Invitations went out community wide, including the Plains Senior Center and the long-term care facility at Clark Fork Valley Hospital.
