While the parking lot may not seem like the most glamorous setting for prom, attendees were able to make the most of it. Event organizer and teacher Sveri May handed out goody bags filled with snacks and sidewalk chalk for students to spruce up their pods. Others went the extra mile by decorating their cars ahead of time, refusing to sacrifice the splendor of a usual prom.

From the beginning of the event, attendees were expected to stay socially-distanced in their respective pods. However, as the sun began to set, groups congregated near the DJ booth, forming a dance floor that harkened back to the pre-pandemic era. This “return to normal” did not dissipate until the end of the event.
