The Community Center at Visitation in Kensington held its first Prom Boutique for girls ages 15-20. The Prom Boutique, also called Cinderella's Closet, was a day of fun and fashion. Students (and their moms) were invited to enjoy an afternoon, selecting prom dresses and accessories, getting some hair and make up tips, enjoying lunch, and hearing from a speaker who addressed inner beauty and dignity.The young ladies who may have been feeling a financial pinch with preparations for their proms had the opportunity to take home dresses and accessories free of charge. Several hundred dresses in all sizes, shapes, and styles and prom accessories, such as shoes and purses, were donated–many by the students at Merion Mercy through one of two prom dress and accessory drives the school supported this winter.
Members of MMA's lacrosse team (and many of their moms) volunteered at the event, which was held March 18.
