Recently the Livingston Academy students were informed that our Prom was going to be held on April 29th instead of April 30th. That means instead of the usual Saturday that we always have Prom on, it will be on a Friday on a school day! It may not sound like a big deal but you have to look closer. We were also told that we will be counted absent on that day if we miss, which if you have ever been a girl that has attended Prom it takes all day (and I mean all day) to get ready. Girl's have to get their nails done, their hair done, their makeup done and keep in mind these are all separate appointment and probably even in separate towns. Their would be no possibly way to do get ready if we attended school all day. Because even after we get ready we still have to eat. And some people have the food catered at their houses which calls for decorating, which calls for time to do, which means no time to be at school.

So even though our elders may think they are doing us a favor and think it is in our best interest that they change this they should really consider otherwise and take our complaints into consideration.
