Brick 'Senior Citizen Prom' Planned

Brick Township is planning its annual Senior Citizen Prom the night of May 3.

The annual celebration is a free event presented by National Honor Society students from Brick Township High School and Brick Memorial High School, along with the township's recreation department.

Seniors are treated to a special dinner menu compliments of a number of restaurants in Brick, including Carrabba's, which donates the evening's meal. The Sentimental Journey Big Band also performs throughout the night.

Seniors, staff, and students are encouraged to wear prom appropriate attire and to bring their dancing shoes for musical performances and student talent.

In keeping with prom tradition, students will count the submitted ballots and announce the 2013 Senior Citizen Prom King and Prom Queen before the last dance.

"Events like this are what make Brick Township so special," said Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis. "This is the Township and our schools working together to give senior citizens and students the chance to enjoy a special evening together. It is really well done and everyone always has a great time."

"The Senior Citizen Prom is a unique event when generations come together and celebrate in the prom tradition," said Superintendent Dr. Walter Uszenski. "More than 60 high school students from Brick Township public schools volunteer their time to help plan and execute the Senior Citizen Prom."

The event will be held Friday, May 3 at Lake Riviera Middle School from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.

RSVPs are required no later than Friday, April 26. Those interested in attending can call 732-785-3000 Ext. 2003 to RSVP.
