πŸŽ“βœ¨ PROM PROMISE at Spire Academy

This past week, our junior and senior students visited Spire Academy in Geneva to attend the PROM PROMISE Assembly.

Students took part in hands-on demonstrations and activities, heard from speakers, journalists, and community leaders, and engaged in powerful conversations about the importance of safe and responsible decision-making during Prom season.

The assembly also featured impactful stories from individuals and families affected by car accidents and poor choices, serving as a meaningful reminder for students as they head into Prom.

We are grateful for the opportunity to provide experiences that educate, inspire, and encourage our students to make safe choices. 🐾
