PAWTUCKET – It won’t quite be back to normal for Pawtucket’s high school students this spring, but end-of-year events, some with a twist, have returned.
Supt. Cheryl McWilliams said that Tolman High School students decided on having their prom, delayed from the end of May to the first week in June to take it beyond the May 28 deadline for rules to relax in Rhode Island.
Students at Shea High School and the Jacqueline M. Walsh School for the Performing and Visual Arts, meanwhile, were also given the choice of a prom or some other celebration under various scenarios, and those surveyed opted for senior outing celebrations at Slater Park.

On Saturday, May 8, Pawtucket-based TEN31 Productions will host a magical afternoon at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center, 1 Floral Ave. in Providence, with their Wonderland in the Gardens event featuring live-action “Alice in Wonderland” characters based on Sir John Tenniel’s original sketches from the 1865 edition. From 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. people are invited to this family-friendly event to see talking characters including the Chesire Cat, Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen, and more.
“It’s going to be a walk-through experience, so you get to enjoy the garden,” Joe Pari, co-founder of TEN31 Productions, told The Breeze. “Many people don’t know there’s a rose maze at the back of the Botanical Center. The Red Queen will be there doting on her roses.” While it will be fun for the children, “it’s still going to be really cool for adults,” Pari said. “The costuming is really beautiful.”
