Prom:
In the past, a lot of students have taken prom pictures in the garden behind Liberty Hall. A representative notified us that they have a big fundraiser scheduled for the same day as prom. The garden/grounds of Liberty Hall will be off limits to the public starting at 3:00 on that day (April 25th). You are welcome to take pictures prior to that time. Please keep this in mind when planning pictures for this special day.

Every donation helps patients in need, but Power Red donations go even further.
