The Prom Shop, which is located at 2700 Main St., provides high school students with formal clothes, shoes, and accessories, all free of charge. The clothes are distributed in a boutique-style shopping experience where students can choose their outfits. 

*On Thursday, April 10, the district will crown its 2025 Poet Laureate. The annual competition will be held at the WS/FCS Education Building at 6 p.m. For over a decade students from across the district have competed for the title of Poet Laureate. During the competition students will read original poems live in front of an audience. Invited judges will determine first, second and third place winners. In the past The Chronicle has published the winning poem in the newspaper.
