Senior Prom – Literally – At South Bay Manor
The fun starts at 3 p.m., as South Bay Manor residents will pair up with formally dressed University of Rhode Island students.
The seniors of South Bay Manor will be putting on their best for Friday night, courtesy of University of Rhode Island pharmacy students, the Bridal Garden and the Secret Garden.
The fourth annual Senior Prom starts at 3 p.m., with photos under the arch. Each senior will be accompanied by a student from the University of Rhode Island pharmacy program as their “date” for the night. There will be dancing and other entertainment, with the prom ending with a dinner at 5:30 p.m.
About 60 seniors are expected to attend. Dresses are being donated by the Bridal Garden of East Greenwich, and the Secret Garden of Jamestown is providing flowers. Erica Estus, a clinical assistant professor in the URI Department of Pharmacy, and Narragansett resident Christine Sheil, the resident program manager at South Bay Manor, helped organize both groups for the event.
