The Pine River-Backus and Pequot Lakes school districts have cautiously, hopefully and ultimately tentatively each come up with a plan for prom. Pine River-Backus will be hosting prom on Saturday, May 15. While we have to comply with the state guidelines, we re still trying to make things as normal as possible for our students. They ve missed out on a lot, said prom adviser Katie Verschelde.
Plans continue, of course, to be somewhat uncertain because of the coronavirus pandemic, but the school district is trying to work within its means. As it stands, prom will be held for juniors and seniors at the school with a grand march that will only be open to those who receive tickets from the prom participants.
