For the second year in a row, The South Brunswick Education Foundation, awarded us another $1,000.00 grant.  Not only were we able to decorate the faculty dining room to look like a beautiful dress boutique for the event, we were also are able to help ease some of the financial burden for twenty SBHS boys for tuxedo rentals.

Businesses that joined us for the first time this year were The Nail Studio of Colonia, Castle Couture of Marlboro, and D’Bella Salon of Kendall Park.   We appreciate their continued support to South Brunswick High School and the community! 

As cliché as it is, this event would not be possible without the help and donations of all the wonderful teachers, paraprofessional staff, parents, students,  the amazing custodians and the township communities that donated all of the dresses and accessories!

Volunteerism abounds from all around, within the school community, South Brunswick Township and the surrounding communities.    Our volunteers are the heart and soul behind the dress event and the Viking Closet!!!
