Volume Two, Issue Three

Prom for 2018 was a night to remember. With the help of the Junior Prom Committee and Mrs. Floyd, as well as other members of the staff, this year's prom went off without a hitch. With the theme being The Great Gatsby, the room was decorated at its best with a design of black and gold being the main staples of color in the room. Student’s were able to walk down the red carpet and have their picture taken by many parents and a hired photographer. Girls were dressed in their finest dresses and boys in tuxedos and suits. People who went enjoyed their time together, and when the Senioralities were announced, people laughed and felt things were well suited. Moving on to the After Prom, the tables of the Sports Center were cleared away, and the room was redone in the fashion of a Casino complete with a blackjack table, prizes raffled off, a movie, and a show by a hypnotist. All in all, this year's prom was an enjoyable event and a very memorable time for all the Seniors whom it was their last. All of us from the Swanton Paw Print look forward to next year and hope that it will be just as much of an experience as this year.

When the sun sets, the party begins. Experience live music, bonfires, tons of food, and beach games along with a firework show at the end of the night.

Water Parks-

The best way to beat the summer heat is swimming of course. It’s also a fun way to exercise without even realizing it. Water parks are the best and most fun way to cool off while having loads of fun.
