PHS FCCLA students, in cooperation with Sparkwheel, put on their Second Annual Runway to Prom Fashion Show Wednesday. All interested female students were allowed to attend. Following the show, girls had the chance to "shop" all the donated prom dresses in the Sparkwheel classroom, and try them on. FCCLA students were there to help. If the young ladies find a dress they want to wear to prom, they are able to check the dress out through Sparkwheel at no cost, as long as they return it unaltered within one week following prom.
