The event will be chaperoned and will not have alcohol.The prom will feature traditional prom activities, including a grand march and a prom queen and king. The theme will be fireworks. Central MN Prom Alternative is communicating with the St. Paul organization, District 202, which has an alternative prom in the Twin Cities.
