Closet open for Cinderella and Prince Charming

Cinderella's Tea Party supports opportunity for less-affluent grad to dress for prom

The 2012 grads of Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO) are hosting a Cinderella's Tea Party in the school gymnasium on April 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Cinderella's Closet project was started in 2008 by parents of that year's PSO graduating class to enable less affluent students the opportunity to dress for the prom with pride.

Through public donations, the Closet at PSO now holds dozens of gowns and suits of all sizes, along with shoes and jewelry to lend to graduation students on their special day.

The program also helps pay for hair dressing appointments and tuxedo rentals.

The Tea Party, offering wonderful desserts with endless coffee and tea will be an afternoon of glamour and entertainment, featuring sales of jewelry, beauty products and handmade items by local home-based businesses.

Admission to the Tea Party is $8 and tickets are available at Dollar & Sense, United Carpet, BMO, Pharmasave, Donex Pharmacy & Department Store, Money Concepts and Didi's, as well as at the door.
