Prom Announcement for our Seniors
After reviewing the responses from the senior survey, working with our collected dues, and speaking with the various vendors, it is with regret that I inform our seniors that we will not be able to host the Bellaire Prom this July 25. I understand the disappointment this brings and please know that we share your feelings. I wanted desperately to be able to host this special event for each of you. When we announced in late March that we had been able to reschedule Prom to the July 25 date, we were optimistic the city and country would be in a different place. However this is the decision we feel we must make at this time.
With that finalized, we are now ready to begin the Senior Dues refund process. Please know that the prom ticket and senior luncheon are eligible for a refund. We will not refund the price of the Cap & Gown, Senior T-Shirt, and Diploma Cover. Thus each senior that has paid dues will be eligible for a refund of the price they paid minus $60. For example, if you paid senior dues of $140, then your refund will be $80.
If you would like to request a refund, then please complete the form at this link
Senior Dues Refund
. If you would like to donate your refund to a student in need for the Class of 2021, then you may indicate your intent on the form. If we do not hear from you then the dollars may be earmarked for the Class of 2021.
