It’s time for the annual prom dress giveaway! Project Fresh Start is returning to the high school March 9-14. The dresses will be given away free of charge Monday-Friday 4pm-7pm and Saturday 9am-Noon.
Southeast Polk has been a participant in the giveaway for four years after administrative assistant Karole Turner was contacted by Dave Kissinger, the coordinator for Project Fresh Start. According to Turner the goal of the giveaway is to give people who could not otherwise afford it the chance to receive a prom dress.
To donate to the giveaway, all that must be done is to take your old prom dress to Turner to the front office by March 6 to give ample time for the dresses to be given to Project Fresh Start.
“We put out a broadcast to let people know that we are accepting the dresses and people out in community start bringing in their dresses,” said Turner.
If you have any questions regarding the giveaway, contact Karole Turner in the high school office at 515-967-6631.
