The LoGuidice Educational Center recently celebrated prom with a Fairy Garden theme, giving students a fun, welcoming and memorable event together.
One of the highlights came before the music and dancing even started, thanks to an awesome collaboration with our Cosmetology students! Junior cosmetology students helped their peers get prom-ready with hair, makeup and manicures, making sure everyone felt confident, celebrated and ready to shine.
The prom was held outside at the pavilion and featured great weather, food, music, dancing and plenty of smiles.
A big thank you to the LoGuidice staff, Cosmetology students and staff, and everyone who helped plan, prepare and make this special event possible for our students!
