The D’Evelyn 2021 Junior/Senior ‘Great Gatsby’ themed Prom took place on the evening of Saturday April 24th, in tents constructed on the lawn to the South of the School. The Prom Committee and the D’Evelyn Education Foundation After Prom committee helped Student Council with preparation and planning, responding to frequent COVID related challenges. Parent and staff volunteers worked tirelessly in the weeks preceding the event to gather door prizes, gifts, and food and drinks for the students to enjoy. A Caricaturist and photo booth were available to help capture the moment. The Prom was made possible by the hard work of the Student Council, Assistant Principal Dan Willie and the rest of the Administration along with the parent volunteers for their diligent work in overcoming the unique challenges of this COVID environment. Special thanks to Shannon Willis, the DEF After Prom Coordinator, Jason Ornstein, Sherry Cronin, and Jenna Spendlove. Many thanks to all the volunteers who made the event amazing! The evening was a huge success, and a great time was had by all. In compliance with Jeffco School District and County health guidelines, students were welcomed with numerous safety protocols before accessing the tents with a dance floor and various games. Written by: Jenna Spendlove, Executive Director D’Evelyn Education Foundation Each year, there are many parent volunteers who create, plan, and execute the Board’s numerous activities and we’d like to take a moment to thank them for all of their efforts. First, to our “graduating” parents: Julia Blackford – Julia has managed all aspects of the school store for many years and has done an outstanding job! She was also very active at both Dennison and D’Evelyn. Her years of dedication are greatly appreciated. Her years at D’Evelyn have come to an end, but her legacy will remain for years to come. Shannon Willis – Shannon managed After Prom for the last few years. In addition to that massive project, she was instrumental in making prom happen this year. Her and her husband were very involved with their sons’ sporting activities and also created the Senior Parade video in 2020. She will be greatly missed! Barb Haerbig – Barb was co-chair of the D’Evelyn DASH as well as volunteered for many other activities Her years of volunteering are greatly appreciated.
