After Prom Volunteers Needed
The OMHS PTSA is looking for parents willing to come out and help keep our teens safe and happy on Prom Night. We are hosting our 11th Annual After Prom Event on Saturday, May 19th immediately following the Prom. This year the event will be held at Brunswick Lanes in Columbia, MD with set-up starting at 10:30pm. Volunteers are needed throughout the night and for clean-up, which begins at 4:30am. Volunteers do not have to stay the entire night, even a couple of hours here and there will go far to helping out the weary all-nighters!
Please contact Mona Curran at omhsafterprom@yahoo.com to offer your assistance.
