Brooke Point High

The Brooke Point High School After Prom Committee Car Show held April 5 was a success. Brooke Point teacher Michael Paul and his Advanced Marketing class coordinated the event. More than 500 spectators came to see the cars, trucks, jeeps and motorcycles that made up the 100 entries. The Brooke Point Learn and Serve Class conducted a car wash. Thunder 104.5 provided the music and the “540 Boyz” entertained the crowd with their motorcycle stunts.
Brooke Point’s After Prom Party will be held at the school after the May 3 prom. Volunteers are still needed. Contact Deb Johnson at jdjohn123@aol.com or (540) 659-2697 to help.
