South Kingstown High School Senior Class of 2021 has had a senior year like no other.  The Covid pandemic cut short their junior year and has continued to put a damper on so many experiences and traditions that usually define the end of a high school journey at SKHS, including junior prom and the SKPades variety show. Music, sports and clubs of all kinds have adjusted to this new normal and the kids have all made the most of it, but the truth is they miss celebrating and spending time together as a class. The senior class parents have come together with input and creative ideas from the students and started to plan safe events in order to send the Class of 2021 off with memories to last a lifetime.

Since SKPades is the largest fundraiser (typically bringing in $12-14k) and many smaller events that add to the class treasury were also cancelled, the Class of 2021 is left with almost no money to host these events. Most notably, we are raising money so that they can have a senior prom.  The kids have been brainstorming ideas for how to make this happen safely while still being able to put on those prom gowns (many purchased but unworn from junior year) and tuxes and enjoy a festive, fun and exciting time as decades of classes have done before them.  A typical prom costs about $17k.

We know this year is anything but typical, so we are asking our wonderful parents, grandparents, friends and community members to contribute whatever you can in order to give this special class a special send-off. Any amount large or small would be so appreciated, and anything left over would go to the SKHS 2021 class account so they would have money for future reunions like classes have before them. Thank you in advance for your help in making these events come to life!


Let's celebrate SKHS Class of 2021!
