Clairton kindergarten kiddos enjoy their first ‘prom’

By the MVI
As the high-school prom season is about to kick off, the kindergarten team at Clairton School District decided their students should get a chance to step out in their finest, too.
Kristan Ferguson, Angela Recaldini, Shana Mignogna and Pam Black thought it would be a cute idea and immediately got to work getting decorations, snacks, a DJ, photo backdrops, tickets and permission slips ready.
“The students arrived in the fanciest attire the elementary may have ever seen,” Mignogna said.

Each class crowned a prince and princess of the prom. The awards were based on attendance, academics and attitude.
