For some graduating students in Camrose and surrounding area, the cost of dressing for the momentous occasion is a monumental obstacle. In years past, some young students, eager for one of the biggest days of their lives, have chosen not to attend their grad ceremony due to not being able to afford a suitable dress for their dream day. That, however, should no longer be the case. Ladies (in particular) now have at least two awesome opportunities to get perfect grad attire absolutely free. The Princess Project, founded by Camrose Outreach School Principal Laura Swanson, supplies and fits graduation dresses (as well as a small number of guys’ suits) to grads in Camrose and area who might not otherwise be able to afford the sometimes expensive cost of dressing for this milestone moment. A similar initiative, based in Millet, called the Prom Project is underway courtesy of business owner Angela Pauls. Angela reports that she has an impressive number of extraordinary graduation gowns for gals which are offered to qualifying grads-to-be at zero charge. In recent weeks, she has already assisted more than a dozen 2018 graduating students from the Camrose trading area. For more information, email Angela at infoforthepromproject@gmail.com. Laura can be reached at princessprojectcamrose@gmail.com.
