Prom is right around the corner, and we are finalizing things for Post Prom. After prom ends, students will have time to change clothes and board a chartered bus for a safe and fun trip to Sky Zone in Sioux Falls. We anticipate arrival time in Sioux Falls at 1:00 am, with a return to Forestburg around 5am.
Important:
- Parents must complete an online waiver for their student (don’t forget your date!) before April 10. Please visit Sky Zone Sioux Falls Waiver to fill it out now, so you don’t forget!
- Sanborn Central school also requires a waiver to be completed for students leaving the Prom to attend Post Prom activities. Please complete this form by April 6th. https://forms.gle/NruEEue8Zu6MGbmNA
Students are welcome to attend Post prom, even if they do not go to Prom. If you have questions, you can reach out to Jen Fouberg or Steff Edwards.
