MORP (Senior Prom Celebration)
Donation protected
“The majority of LCISD is comprised of minority students—around 60% to be clear. With this in mind, you can understand the disbelief from students, us Black students in particular, when it was revealed our prom would be held at George Ranch Historical Park, a former plantation.
2020 was meant to be a year of enlightenment, change, and understanding. So much effort was put in, specifically with the Black Lives Matter Movement, to educate people on the complexities of the way Black people must view society because our experience is much different than say, a white person.
Now here we are in 2021, and Black people are being asked to dance on their ancestors graves.” - Zenobia Wiley

Creating a prom experience event is very expensive. Your generous donations will go towards the venue, rental fee plus taxes, decorations, vendors, CDC recommended COVID protocol materials (i.e. sanitizing stations, masks, thermometers, etc.) and all other costs associated with the event. This entire project is being spearheaded by two high school seniors simply trying to provide the prom experience we feel everyone deserves. Hence why donations are greatly appreciated.
