DONATE YOUR DRESSES!!! Prom will be here before you know it. Every now and then, we all need a "Fairy Godmother". That can't be more true than in today's tough economic climate, so a special group of women have come together to provide young ladies in need with prom dresses. The Cinderella Project accepts donated dresses (with tags denoting where the dress was last worn- so girls don't wear the dress to the same school). Any girl may 'shop' for a dress at MAC's Continuing Ed building on March 10 and March 14 from 9:00am-3:00pm. If you are not in need of a dress you might like to donate one to The Cinderella Project. You can help by donating a gently-used prom dress, shoes, and/or costume jewelry. Bring your donation to the counseling office with an attached tag on the dress letting us know which high school prom the dress was originally worn at and the counselors will get the dresses over to MAC. If you have any questions please stop by the counseling office.
