For the past sixteen years the Pattonsburg R-II School District has been involved in the Drug-Free Schools and Community Act in an ongoing effort to reduce alcohol and drug use in the community.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
With the help of patrons and friends, the school will provide activities and prizes for the juniors and seniors after the Junior-Senior Prom.
This year the Junior-Senior Prom is being held in the gym at the Pattonsburg High School on Saturday, April 28. Prom activities are still in the planning stages, but sponsors are hoping to have organized activities as in the past and take the students to a bowling alley for part of the night. The prom is a type of lock-in to assure the safety of the students with supervision for a full night of fun.
Because Project Prom has been such a success in the past, the school is asking its community and patrons to either make a gift or cash donation to support this event in order to help make prom night a successful and fun evening.
If you are interested in helping with Project Prom, please contact Alison Sperry 660-367-2433. The school would like to encourage everyone to help, as it takes the whole community to make this project a success and to ensure that no one person is overburdened.
If you would like to mail your gift or cash donation, it may be sent to Project Prom, c/o Alison Sperry, 400 Walnut St., Pattonsburg, MO 64670. The school, along with Pattonsburg Jr/Sr Parents – Door Prize Committee, appreciates your support.
