Prom

Mike and Maysen made Bear a jumping bar today. Maysen had fun trying to get him to jump it. Usually he just ran around it, but they got him jumping a few times. It was cute.

Jorja had prom today. It was allllllll day long. Riley picked her up for breakfast around 8. They ate at someone's house. Then they went to Boondocks. Which is kind of funny because that is what they did for Jorja's first prom. Riley had to go to a shift leader meeting at Chick-Fil-A. Bode took Jorja there while Riley was at the meeting. She thought she would have as much fun by herself, but when he was gone most of the things that were done were couple things so it was a bit awkward for her. She was a good sport though. 

Kelsee did Jorja's hair and it looked beautiful. The kids went and got pictures at someone's house. Then they took a limo up to Provo to the same lemon restaurant they went to for Sweethearts.

Riley's mom asked for pictures so I followed them to the car to get some more

The backyard pictures turned out so pretty! ~ Riley & Jorja

This looks like a gigantic group, and it is. They were together for pictures but split off to different restaurants.

All the parents in student government were asked to chaperone. Mike and I got there first and were able to snag a spot with two chairs. Made it easy. We had to block one hallway and I checked the Jazz score. We weren't able to do chair dancing this time. Mike and I had a good laugh at the SBO picture in the hallway. It looks fake. The boys' heads don't look like they belong on their bodies. Kind of funny.

Jorja ~ financial chair, Layla ~ historian 

Jorja's group didn't get to the dance until right before it ended. I think they caught the last 30 minutes. Jorja said their dinner took so long. Mike and I ended up being at prom more than Jorja. Too bad. Jorja was wondering if people were there and if people were dancing. The student government had taught three line dances during video announcements. The kids danced to all three. Lots of kids. I sent these pictures to Jorja.

Prom royalty was announced for 2020 and 2021 at the end of the dance. Jorja got to put the sashes on the girls. Last year prom royalty was voted on before the world shut down, but never revealed. I love that these kids were able to get that experience. Janelle won. I love her.

Alta has been under construction. Look at these cool video screens. They have two in the commons now.

The school did the best they could to keep the kids safe. They sold a limited number of tickets. Everyone needed a negative covid test 24 hours before the dance. They were able to get the tests done at the school. Everyone had to wear a mask. Each group was assigned a square to dance in. They got wristbands at the door assigning them to a square. 40 kids could fit in each square. Did they only stay in the square? No, but it was a valiant effort. I'm doing this post one month after the dance and as far as I know no one got covid. It was so wonderful to see the kids together like this. They all looked so happy.
