An Evening of Dining and Dancing for Attendees at Senior Prom for Those Age 60+

Special to The Truth

A sold out crowd of 300 people age 60 and over enjoyed a Senior Prom evening of dining and dancing at Start High School Friday, April 28 from 5:30 p.m. –  8 p.m.  The event was co-hosted by the Area Office on Aging and Toledo Public Schools. 

Entertainment was provided by the Motown cover group, The KGB Band.  A sit down dinner was served by Toledo Public Schools students, who also escorted the attendees down the red carpet into the event and then put the corsages and boutonnieres on them.  This is the fourth year for the event that has already outgrown two other Toledo Public High Schools. 

Students and older adults sometimes believe mistaken negative stereotypes about one another. The Area Office on Aging and Toledo Public Schools' (TPS) Senior Prom at TPS high schools provide positive intergenerational experiences.  The intergenerational event often has the older adults teaching the students some dance moves from their generation and the students doing likewise.
