The University High boys’ lacrosse team didn’t have enough players for its City Section semifinal match on Friday night against Palisades because the school’s prom was the same night and players chose the prom instead.

A mother is on mission to make high school proms more affordable after her daughter missed two events due to Covid.

The alliance’s website includes a calendar featuring a “Tween/Teen Games Meet Up” in Elk Grove, regular library visits and a masquerade-themed prom night Friday.

Trips to Malta, Croatia and Magaluf are on the horizon, as well as a school prom.
