Wednesday - March 31, 2010 From the School Important Information for the Prom Dear Upper School Parents: For the juniors and seniors, one of the most special events of the spring is the Prom, which will be held on Saturday, May 15. They received their invitations at school the day before spring vacation. This year it will be held at the National Press Club from 9:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. After the dinner dance, there will be an after-prom party at the ESPN Zone from 12:30 until 4:30 a.m. The Prom is aimed at celebrating the juniors and seniors - celebrating the seniors as they near the end of their tenures as Sidwell Friends School students, and to celebrate the juniors as they rise to the status of seniors. It is the case every year that some 9th and 10th grade students are invited as guests of the juniors and seniors; therefore, it is important that all parents be familiar with the information given in the attached document (click "Read More").
