The junior class is in charge of fundraising for prom each year, and their main fundraiser is through parking lot sales at special events like Leesburg Bike Fest and the Mount Dora Arts and Crafts Festival. But with the pandemic, most of those were cancelled or postponed and the class was struggling to fund prom.
“It really helps everyone,” Junior Class Sponsor Karen Woodie said. “It helps the juniors raise money for the junior/senior prom, seniors get their own banner and the city gets to join in by displaying them. We were able to get sponsors for every single senior and had enough left over to have an outstanding prom.”
