All Bell County high school senior girls are invited to attend the mentorship event.

The Healthy Prom Prep class will include a presentation by Dr. Shannon Brown, dermatology resident with Baylor Scott & White. Brown will discuss skincare and beauty products, and the dangers of tanning beds.

A nutritionist will educate the girls about healthy ways to prepare for prom with proper diet and exercise.

To conclude, the girls will participate in a barre workout class in the youth club dance room. Barre combines strength training and cardio using movements and postures from disciplines like ballet, yoga and Pilates.

The girls are encouraged to wear workout attire to the class.

Project Prom assists financially disadvantaged high school girls in Bell County in attending their senior prom by providing them with dresses, shoes and accessories. The mentorship program is designated to help prepare these girls for life after graduation.

The Healthy Prom Prep class is part of the three-event mentorship series. Girls who participate in any of the three classes will be invited to participate in a shopping experience, which will provide them with a prom dress, graduation dress, accessories and gift certificates for prom.
