After-Prom Party Planned For 29th Year In Natick

NATICK, MA—The reality is, prom night is not only one of the most exciting nights in the life of a teenager, but historically, it can be deadly, depending on where kids do their "after-party" and what they do there.

Several communities have worked to alleviate these concerns by throwing a safe and supervised prom after-party. Natick has thrown such a party for the past 28 years, and it has been met with overwhelming success.

Following this year's prom in Natick, on May 19, a sponsored after party will be thrown from midnight to 5 p.m. at Natick High School. As explained by organizers, the Natick High School After Prom Party is an event for students to continue prom night in an alcohol and drug-free environment. The event committee plans various fun activities for attendees to participate in throughout the night.

More than 560 students attended the event in 2016. The After Prom Party receives tremendous support from the the Natick community (residents and businesses) through various fundraising efforts and donations.

The event is free for students and is facilitated by NHS staff, After Prom Party Planning Committee and volunteers.
