'big hearted' event that provided enjoyable entertainment and warm fuzzies
for the audience and a generous donation for the Winter Homeless Shelter,"
said Jackson in a letter to the seniors following the show.
The show had five sections, "Playground,"

Formal" wear.

section of the show, the girls wore clothes provided by Delia*s and in
the "Jersey Sport" section of the show, the guys wore sports clothes provided
by Champs Sports. "The Fashion X" section featured both guys and girls.
The clothes for the girls were from Rainbow and the clothes that the guys
wore were from Lucky Brand Dungarees.
In the "Platinum Club Wear" section
of the show, all of the girls involved wore clothes that they already owned
and had bought from various places around the world.
The last section of the show was
"A Night to Remember Formal Wear" that featured clothes from Bloomingdale’s
that provided all of the formal dresses and Masters Tuxedo and Bridal Shop
that provided all of the tuxedos for the guys and the beautiful wedding
dress worn by Ashlie Peters at the culmination of the show.
The show was organized by the senior
class, especially by Maria Lara, Erikka Hamer, and Melissa Pryor. "These
three girls did a fabulous job and no one will understand how hard they
worked unless they try organizing an event this complicated themselves.
I’m very proud of them and of all the over 30 seniors who participated
in the show," said class sponsor Michael Hoover. |
