Southeast Polk high school students will take on the dance floor Saturday, April 18 from 8 pm to 11pm with after prom shortly following, doors opening at 10:30 and closing around 5 in the morning.
According to the Southeast Polk website, last year over 900 students took part in post prom, over 100 community partners donated prizes or gifts, and there were 110 volunteers to run games and serve food to ensure a smoothly ran night.
During the dance, there will be a five minute video commemorating the graduating seniors, similar to previous years, along with the unveiling of senior polls.
“I’m really looking forward to my senior prom and after prom this year after I had such a great time last year, “said senior Blake Bauer.
All juniors and seniors are automatically on the list to attend post prom for free, underclassmen and students from other schools are required to purchase a ticket to the dance in order to attend.
“The goal of the Southeast Polk Post Prom Committee is to provide fun and safe alternatives following prom. This goal has been accomplished through constant fund-raising, creative parents and a very dedicated volunteer committee,” according to Southeast Polk’s website.

The most recent FRQ pertained to the information learned in the second unit of the book over population and migration.                 The students had the opportunity to take their first FRQs home to work on them overnight.                 “I thought that for the first one it would be good to do a take home assignment to gently get [them] into it. Next we’ll be doing one in class and eventually as a test,” said Gross.                 When grading the tests, Gross looks at the responses the way any AP grader would when looking at them this summer.                 “I look for: Did you answ

Mrs. Goodrich is in charge of this club and actually came up with the idea. “We did it to uplift people after coming back from break,” sophomore Cassidy Oberbroeckling said.                 When asking other students what they thought of the idea, they responded with positive feedback. “It was a very good idea and it was cool to walk around and see all of the different messages,” senior Nic Henderson said.                 Doing these creative messages can really help to brighten a student’s day after everyone
