Amid the heated national debate over safely reopening schools, a group of parents in Idaho have planned a high school prom this spring in the absence of a school-organised event.
The Melba School District has welcomed students back to classrooms but has not held major gatherings since the pandemic began.
But social media users spotted flyers on Facebook for a Melba High prom hosted by parents.
The event s tagline reads: A little party never killed nobody .
The prom is Great Gatsby themed, according to one parent, Chanall Astle.
