Letter: The Real Students of Perry Hall High School

An Essex woman thanks the dozens of volunteers who made the 2013 Senior Citizen Prom possible.

Editor's Note: Students from Perry Hall High School hosted the annual Senior Citizen Prom Thursday afternoon. Dozens of students helped make the event, which grew more than double in size, possible. Stick with Patch for more coverage from the prom.

You think this is nothing unusual, but this one is. It isn't the young students all dressed up. This is prom attended by: mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers.

We are invited by the students, and served free dinner, beverages and desserts by the same students.

It is such a wonderful, enjoyable and uplifting affair.

Also, planned entertainment and prizes make it a fun evening, as well.

How refreshing to see how happy they are and the joyful smiles on their faces by making us happy.

We see hope in the future with young people like these.

Thank you—To every student who helped in any way.

You are a blessing.
