Dear BHS Community,

 

After a five hiatus, the BHS Intergenerational Golden Prom is back! 

 

This amazing event is a highlight of the year for, not just the senior citizens that attend, but the many BHS students that volunteer, as well. On Friday, May 3, 2024, students at BHS will host a dinner dance for senior citizens living in the Somerset Hills School District as well as any senior citizens that are graduates of BHS

 

The prom is a community event and we need the community’s help to make it a success. If you know of any senior citizen in your neighborhood, or in Bernardsville, Far Hills, Bedminster or Peapack and Gladstone, please tell them about The Prom. Also, please let us know about them so we can send them an inivitation. 

 

We are asking the BHS community for donations of appetizers to be dropped off at the BHS cafeteria on May 3rd, by 4:00pm. We also need volunteers to help pick up donations from local restaurants and businesses during the day on May 3rd.

 

Please use this Signup Genius to volunteer:https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050A45A9AB29A75-volunteers#/

 

For more information about the Intergenerational Golden Prom or how you can help, please email [email protected].

 

Thank you for your support!
