I. PROM
Your senior class officers have made every effort to prepare a prom for you that
will be one of your precious memories. The prom will be at the:
The Woodlands Waterway Marriott
1601 Lake Robins Drive
The Woodlands, TX 77380
Driving Directions: exit I-45 North onto Woodlands Parkway. Continue west on
Woodlands Parkway to Six Pines, turn right. Hotel parking will be on your left
in one and a half blocks (next to Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion). Take the
sky walk to the hotel. You may experience traffic delays as the Ironman
Marathon and Dave Matthews Band concert will be in progress.
The prom will be held on Saturday, May 16 from 8:00 p.m. until midnight.
This is a formal affair, however if a boy does not desire to wear a tuxedo, he
may wear a suit and tie. Shoes must be worn at all times. The hotel requires
that feet be protected on the dance floor.
Tickets will be on sale in the Commons during all lunches beginning March
18th on Wednesday and Fridays through April 10th for $70.00. Beginning April
22nd, tickets will be $75.00. Package includes 1 prom ticket and prom favors.
Refreshments and soft drinks will be served at prom. Please see Mrs. Wood
(room 501) with any questions.
The coronation of the Prom King and Queen will be between 11:00-11:30 p.m.
Please plan your evening accordingly so you will not miss this event.
Loyd’s Photographers will take prom pictures. Flyers will be distributed at the
Senior Assembly. To increase effi ciency and avoid delays in the lines for prom
pictures, please have your choice of package(s) selected and payment (cash,
check or credit card) ready prior to the evening. Plan to arrive early to avoid
the rush. Pictures will be mailed directly to the student whose name appears
on the order. If each individual of the couple wish to receive pictures they must
each purchase a separate package or be prepared to share. All problems with
prom pictures should be directed to the address below and not to Klein Collins.
