In the early days, GWCS did not have a Prom mainly because the typical public school Senior Proms did not fit the coyote vibe. But then we realized, we can do Prom coyote style! An evening of fun for everyone - not just seniors. An evening of music and dancing, of course, but fun dancing, silly dancing, line dancing, dancing games and, speaking of games… card games, poker games, limbo, magic tricks and epic games of liar's dice! Whatever moved the coyote spirit became part of the GWCS Prom. In spring 2020 we were not able to have a Prom because of Covid-19 but this year, 2021, students had demonstrated all year that they could have fun even with pandemic restrictions. Before GWCS Prom planning commenced, to our surprise and delight, Kathleen and Frank Aschmann, proposed a very thoughtful and generous offer. They planned (with Ms. Kohler as the concierge) and donated the best GWCS Prom yet! Students received formal invitations and R.S.V.P. cards. On Saturday, May 30, 2021, GWCS coyotes gathered at the Mount Vernon Country Club dressed to the nines (as they say) and were treated to a scrumptious sit-down dinner and a live DJ. What followed can only be explained as the release of the coyote spirit. Fun, laughter, silliness, and friendship abounded in every direction. The photos are reminiscent of a masked ball but you can see the smile in their eyes. Thank you for your kindness and generosity Mr. & Mrs. Aschmann. And thank you GWCS students for simply being true to your coyote spirit.

THANK YOU MR. & MRS. ASCHMANN

“Thank you, Mr., and Ms. Aschmann for hosting an amazing prom. I loved the music and the food. I really enjoyed myself. I enjoyed Eva, Maddie, and Jonathan dancing and keeping the party up. I am sure everyone enjoyed themselves, especially during this time in a pandemic and the prom definitely helped.” Sincerely, Jana

“Thank you, Alfred and Mrs. and Mr. Aschmann for sponsoring and hosting such a lovely extravagant prom. It was our best prom yet! From a 5-Star venue, 3 course meal, DJ, and wait staff it was truly a night to remember. Students and staff had fun dancing, taking pictures, playing cards and liars dice, and participating in the end of the night games like Coke vs Pepsi, Musical Chairs, The Limbo, The Train, and more! Thank you for your generosity!” ~ Ms. Kohler
