COLUMBUS, Ind. — The 2021 Prom for the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. took place Saturday night at Northside Middle School.
BCSC communications coordinator Josh Burnett said that nearly 800 tickets were sold for the event, which had an “Enchanted Garden” theme.
This year’s prom was modified for COVID-19 safety, utilizing outdoor areas and protocols such as mask-wearing. The event’s website also stated that slow dancing would not be allowed “in order to comply with social distancing.”
