Please make sure books and DVDs are gently used and DVDs need to be fairly new, within the last five years.

On May 6th and 7th, join us for a capstone/passion project of many of the senior theatre students.  Proceeds go toward the theatre scholarship fund.

A sinister con-man and two ex-convicts are about the meet their match when they encounter a blind housewife.  The CCHS theatre department is proud to present Wait Until Dark on May 6th and 7th.  Doors open at 6:30.  The cost is $5.00. This show is slightly scary, so viewer discretion is advised for the really young kids.

Prom 2010

Get your corsages picked up and dinner reservations set. Prom is this Saturday, May 8th. Campbell County High School juniors and seniors will be spending the day preparing for the big event.
The Grand March will start at 7:00 p.m at South, but doors will open at 6:15 p.m.  Students will need to park out front and walk around the school to the back entrance of hall ‘A’ and from there, go up the stairs. There will be between 700 and 800 students, so the rule “first come first serve” will be put into effect.
After parents leave, the dance will begin. Dancers can hit the floor until midnight.
Photographs will be provided by George Dunlap and the prices range from $20-$60. Photo packets are in the activities office and can be picked up with the prom tickets.  Zip Printing will also provide pictures downtown.
Juniors who would like to help decorate for prom, should contact History teacher Becky Buell. Any junior can help, but must be eligible to be excused. Students can be excused for half of Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, either morning or afternoon. Decorators can be excused all three days, but only if they are willing to help Friday after school.
After the dance, prom-goers can donate their corsage or boutonnière for the next morning, where senior citizens will be having their own special prom at South.  A basket near the coat check will be available for drop off.
Tickets can still be purchased for $20 in the activities office.

A Dress is Just a Dress

High school is made up of a string of memorable events, such as homecoming, sports games, plays, the ACT, and the favorite: prom. This final dance can be the best memory for some high school girls, and no girl should miss out on this night merely because she couldn’t afford a dress.

Many girls spend the weeks leading up to prom on the quest for the perfect dress. This can be hard for some girls, when many families are in financial trouble.  To solve their problem all they need is a little SALT: the Servant Action Leadership Team to be exact.  This group of silent heroes has avoided the limelight until this year with their community-wide Prom Dress Drive. “I had this idea because I was thinking of the girls who couldn’t go to prom because they didn’t have a dress and it wasn’t fair, but Paige Austin convinced me to bring it up at our next SALT meeting,” said junior Sara Riele.

Starting a community-wide event is no small feat. These high school students had to get permission to advertise it at school, promote the event through posters, and spread awareness through word of mouth.  “We put up a lot of posters around town,” said senior Callie Wilson who is another member of SALT.

Their hard work and patience paid off. The community and girls in need took notice of posters and talk around school. Nearly seventy dresses were collected and around twenty dresses were given a happy home with several deserving girls. “It was so sweet; the girls were so happy,” said Wilson. The last few Sundays in April were the days to find a dress. The Landing, the youth group for the SALT, opened their doors for a few hours each Sunday for girls who truly needed a dress.

It wasn’t just about the numbers either. This group cared more about the girls than the dresses they tried on. “I couldn’t care less how many dresses we gave away, but what mattered was that this made a difference in the lives of these girls and now they get to go to prom,” said Charley Carpenter, the youth pastor at The Landing.

Come May 8th, there will be plenty of girls smiling at the top of the stairs at Grand March, and they will have a good reason to. This major effort to help high school girls will be remembered for a long time to come. And everyone is welcome to donate this year’s prom dresses for next year.
