AfterProm & Graduation

Class of 2020

PROM/ AFTER PROM

AFTERPROM 
Date: May 16, 2020 @ 11:30pm – 4:30am

  • What is AfterProm?

AfterProm is a PTSA sponsored event that provides a safe, fun, substance-free celebration for our Junior and Senior classes immediately following Prom. Our students have worked hard and deserve a time to celebrate. We want to provide a way for them to celebrate and still make it to the end of the school year or graduation in one piece.

  •   Why should my child attend AfterProm?

Statistics show roughly a third of alcohol-related teen traffic fatalities occur during the peak of prom season. An AAA survey of teens aged 16 to 19 found that 41% said it was likely that they or their friends would use drugs or alcohol on prom night. Despite the fact that more teens are involved in fatal traffic accidents related to alcohol during prom season, the majority of high school students don’t seem to recognize how dangerous it actually is.

AAA also found 84% of teens surveyed said their friends would be more likely to get behind the wheel after drinking than to call home for a ride and another 22% said they’d ride in a car with someone who was impaired instead of calling their parents. The majority of teens who drink are downing substantially more on prom night. According to Liberty Mutual, 54% of teens who admitted to drinking during or after the prom said they consumed four or more alcoholic beverages.

And last, but by no means least, students feel pressured at Prom to do what they normally might not do. Data from Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Chrysler found that nearly 75% of teens felt pressured to use alcohol while another 49% said their friends encouraged them to try drugs during prom.

  • Why not host my own party?

Understand your potential CRIMINAL LIABILITY under MD law.

An adult who allows an underage drinker to consume, or even possess, alcohol in their home can be held criminally liable and subject to a fine of up to $2,500 for the first offense and $5,000 for the second.

Add up to a year in prison if that underage drinker climbs behind the wheel and injures or kills someone.

Not going to provide the alcohol yourself? The law says you’re still liable if a guest brings it in!

My son/daughter wants to host a separate party.

  •  What do I do?

Have a breakfast after the Post Prom.  The kids can go to your house After Post Prom, eat, talk and sleep the rest of Sunday away! Or Celebrate their achievement another time.

¿Qué es AfterProm?

AfterProm es un evento patrocinado por PTSA que brinda una celebración segura, divertida y libre de sustancias para nuestras clases de Junior y Senior inmediatamente después del baile de graduación. Nuestros estudiantes han trabajado duro y merecen un tiempo para celebrar. Queremos brindarles una manera de celebrar y aún llegar al final del año escolar o la graduación en una sola pieza.

¿Por qué debería mi hijo asistir a AfterProm?

Las estadísticas muestran que aproximadamente un tercio de las muertes por tráfico de adolescentes relacionadas con el alcohol ocurren durante el pico de la temporada de baile. Una encuesta de AAA de adolescentes de entre 16 y 19 años encontró que el 41% dijo que era probable que ellos o sus amigos consumieran drogas o alcohol el día de la fiesta de graduación. A pesar de que cada vez más adolescentes están involucrados en accidentes de tráfico mortales relacionados con el alcohol durante la temporada de graduación, la mayoría de los estudiantes de secundaria no parecen darse cuenta de lo peligroso que es en realidad.
AAA también encontró que el 84% de los adolescentes encuestados dijeron que sus amigos estarían más dispuestos a ponerse detrás del volante después de beber que a llamar a casa y un 22% dijo que viajarían en un automóvil con alguien que estaba discapacitado en lugar de llamar a su padres La mayoría de los adolescentes que beben bajan mucho más en la noche de graduación. Según Liberty Mutual, el 54% de los adolescentes que admitieron haber bebido durante o después del baile dijeron que consumieron cuatro o más bebidas alcohólicas.

Y por último, pero de ninguna manera menos importante, los estudiantes se sienten presionados en Prom para hacer lo que normalmente no harían. Los datos de Mothers Against Drunk Driving y Chrysler encontraron que casi el 75% de los adolescentes se sentían presionados a consumir alcohol, mientras que otro 49% dijo que sus amigos los alentaron a probar drogas durante el baile.

 ¿Por qué no organizar mi propia fiesta?

Comprenda su potencial RESPONSABILIDAD CRIMINAL bajo la ley MD.
Un adulto que permite que un bebedor menor de edad consuma, o incluso posea, alcohol en su hogar puede ser penalmente responsable y sujeto a una multa de hasta $ 2,500 por la primera ofensa y $ 5,000 por la segunda.
Agregue hasta un año de prisión si ese bebedor menor de edad se sube detrás del volante y lesiona o mata a alguien.
¿No va a proporcionar el alcohol usted mismo? ¡La ley dice que todavía eres responsable si un invitado lo trae!

Mi hijo / hija quiere organizar una fiesta por separado.

¿Qué debo hacer?

Toma un desayuno después del Post Prom. ¡Los niños pueden ir a su casa después del Post Prom, comer, hablar y dormir el resto del sábado! O celebra su logro en otro momento.
