Peachtree Homeschooling is one of the options available for parents seeking education for their children. Although the curriculum may be different for homeschooled children, some things remain the same – like a high school prom.
Kimberly Travaglino of Wolf Creek has homeschooled four children.
“There’s a misnomer that somehow homeschooled kids are unsocialized, and that they just have their siblings as friends, and that’s just not accurate,” she said. “The prom is one opportunity to get together from a very large region in a wholesome environment and celebrate the end of the year.”
Travaglino also spends extracurricular time with her children going to movies, bowling, parties and other activities.
About 100 students attended the Tri-State Homeschool Prom from 6-10 p.m. April 1 at the beautiful McGuire’s Millrace Farm. The venue offered plenty of space to accommodate students and chaperones from northern Georgia, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
The prom featured a barn-type setting with the theme, “One Night in the Enchanted Forrest.” There were plenty of heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages for the students, and the music was presented by DJ Ryan Greene with Dowoak Events.
Students dressed up, danced, laughed and in general had a great time ensuring good memories that will last for years. The grounds were filled with young folks from grade 9 to age 21, each adorned in handsome attire and brightly colored dresses that were eye-catching.
Congratulations went out to graduating seniors Caedmon Akers, Anna Avent, Marley Craig, Matthew Fowler, Garrison Hamm, Emma Kate Harrison, Brinley Holder, Zoe Krusak, Kahlan Lashbrooks, Trenton Lamoureux, Olivia Simpson, Jadyn Sherman, Julianna Tramontozzi, Jackson Thomas, Daisy Vial, Colden Warren and Brooke Yancey.
Local businesses sponsored the Tri-State Homeschool Prom, helping to offset the cost of the event. If you would like to help sponsor next year’s homeschool prom, call Travaglino at 561-376-5990 or email Kimberly@campJesus.us.
