Thank you for making NHS prom a success

Newport High School's prom night on April 13 transported us to a magical Moonlight Garden, and it's with massive gratitude that we extend our thanks to the incredible people and businesses who donated funds and time to help make it a success.

First and foremost, a huge shout-out to Taphouse at Nye Creek, Freddie Saxton Advantage Real Estate, Local Ocean Seafoods, PJM Auto, Thompson Sanitary Service, and Copeland Lumber. Your contributions didn't just help fund our prom, they created an unforgettable experience for our students.

We can't forget the amazing individuals who provided their time and energy into making this night a success. Thank you Joy and Terry Bruns, Helyn Layton, Gretchen Havner, the class of 2025 junior parents who donated desserts, and all of the chaperones — your contributions didn't go unnoticed. Your hard work behind the scenes ensured that every detail was perfect, from the décor to the dessert bar.

And let's talk about the extras that truly elevated the night. The live DJ kept us dancing all evening, the photo booth captured our favorite moments, and the dessert bar, overflowing with delicious treats, satisfied our sweet cravings. Plus, the caricature artist added a touch of whimsy, creating keepsakes that will be treasured for years to come.

To everyone who played a part in our prom night, whether big or small, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support made it happen, and the memories we made will be cherished forever.

As we look back on this enchanted evening, we're filled with gratitude for each and every one of you. Thank you for helping us create a prom night that we'll never forget.
