School’s out for spring break, but the spacious rotunda at Thomas Haney secondary school was bustling on March 18, with teens in suits and prom dresses looking over racks of formal clothes, trying on dress shoes, and sorting through ties, jewelry, belts and accessories.
Volunteers helped them get the right “fit,” then applied makeup, styled their hair, and took formal grad photos with cap and gown.
Every girl you spoke with loved her new dress, that they had picked out that morning at Puttin’ on the Glitz. The annual event is organized by Plea Community Services in partnership with the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District, and the Kiwanis service club that came on board this year. They ensure every high school graduate has formal attire for their big day.
