We are very excited about the upcoming gala, Prom: The Retro Romance, on February 8, 2014 and hope you are too! Thank you to everyone who has already purchased a table or individual tickets; we look forward to seeing you at the event! There is still time to purchase your table or reserve your tickets! You can find the order form here, or you can call Claire Hein Blanton in the Advancement office at (281) 693.1000 to order them over the phone.

We have prepared a video of some of Pope John's faculty and staff at their own proms to get everyone excited about the evening. If you don't still have your old prom dress, don't worry! As long as you aren't breaking Mr. Oelkers's dress code, dresses, slacks and a blouse, suits, tuxedos, tie or no tie are all going to be found at the evening!

We are also in need of volunteers to help us set up, decorate, and prepare for the evening, starting on Friday, February 7 in the morning. We would like at least 10 volunteers in each shift of Friday morning, Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning. If you are able to come help out, please RSVP to Carole Hoth at [email protected].

The gala is the school's largest single fundraising event and supports all aspects of student life and learning at Pope John. More than $90,000 was raised for classroom supplies, facilities, and student activities last year and we hope to raise even more this year. Please consider purchasing a table or buying tickets to attend this wonderful and fun event.

We look forward to seeing you,
