Student singing prom pledge
Prom pledge: I want my prom to be a night I'll remember for the rest of my life surrounded by my best friends and full of music dancing and fun. I don't want anything to get in the way of those memories. I pledge to party hard and party sober and encourage my friends to do the same. I will not ride in a car with someone who has been drinking  or using drugs. Because I am your friend. I want you to pledge the same. Name and date.
