(Radio Iowa) – The Sioux City Public Schools Foundation is inviting the Class of 2020 to finally celebrate an event they never got to experience because of the COVID pandemic. Foundation Development Director Karen Harrison says they plan to hold a prom for the class with the theme of “Rewrite the Night.”

“No one may have been more affected than the class of 2020, who were gearing up for an important milestone such as their prom and their graduation, but their prom was canceled entirely,” Harrison says. “Students put away their unworn dresses and their tuxes they would never experience the fun of having a prom.” The students who were teens in 2020 are now over 21 and allows the prom to be held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino with a cash bar. “The event will give our 2020 grads a chance to rewrite the prom they never had complete with a live band Decoy, dancing, a photo booth, and, more importantly, lifetime memories with friends,” she says.

Foundation president John Soos says he hopes the alumni of East, North and West High Schools Classes of 2020 will turn out for the event. “What a great venue, what a great night plan for these kids, what a great way for us to reach out to our alumni and engage them with the district and with the foundation,” he says. He says alumni can attend solo, or bring a date to the event on June 28th.
