Brick Students, Seniors Again Come Together To Dance Night Away At Prom

Dust off your dancing shoes, break out your fancy clothes and mark your calendars as Brick prepares for its eighth annual Senior Citizen Prom.

The free event, open to members of the township’s senior community, is set for 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, May 8, at Lake Riviera Middle School, 171 Beaverson Boulevard.

The prom again is organized by members of the National Honor Society from both Brick Township High School and Brick Memorial High School with the Township Recreation Department. This year’s event will feature music by Sentimental Journey Big Band; musical performances and student talent; and a special dinner menu compliments of many generous restaurants from Brick Township, who donate the evening’s meal.

Seniors, staff, and students are encouraged to wear prom-appropriate attire. In keeping with prom tradition, students will count the submitted ballots and announce the 2015 Senior Citizen Prom King and Prom Queen before the last dance.

“This is a wonderful event that acknowledges our young thoughtful senior citizens and fosters a sense of service learning with our student leaders,” said Dr. Walter Uszenski, Superintendent of Brick Schools.

“The Senior Citizen Prom is a great event that highlights two of our town’s best resources, our students and our senior residents,” Mayor John G. Ducey said. “Everyone benefits from this intergenerational celebration and, more importantly, everyone has a great time.”

Please RSVP your intentions by May 1 to Cindy Colantoni in the Brick Township Recreation Department by calling 732- 262-1073. This event is limited to 200 Brick Township residents and is on a first come, first served basis.
