Have you ever danced with a tiger? Shared a meal with a giraffe? Swam with an alligator?
These questions may seem a little far-fetched, but this year’s senior/junior prom will be held at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and the endless entertainment possibilities will make May 16 memorable for all.
Spanish teacher and Senior Class Advisor Mrs. Jackie Holko has been in charge of Brooklyn’s proms for over 20 years. Her favorite part of organizing prom is being able to visit the venue with the prom committee on the morning of to get a sneak peek, and this year at the Cleveland Zoo will be a brand new experience.
Mr. Ryan Kelber, former BHS Athletic Director, recommended the zoo to Mrs. Holko because Cuyahoga Heights had their prom there, and the feedback was very positive. When the prom committee researched the venue, they said that it had some unique activities and was a very favorable location. This year’s attendees will be treated to a ride on the carousel, a thrilling zip line excursion, and a delicious dinner.
For those attending prom, show up before 6:00 for the full zoo/prom experience.
In other news, this is a reminder that the shoe drive continues to collect new and gently-worn shoes. All shoes are welcomed and needed, so please dig through your house or go shopping for this great cause.
