North Central News - More Than a Dress
At Fitchburg High School, one classroom is transforming prom night for students who need it most.
The Princess and Prince Boutique, led by teacher Aurea Rivera and supported by the Latin American Club, provides free dresses, suits, and more to help ease the financial burden of prom. Through donations and community support, the program has grown into an effort that goes far beyond clothing, offering confidence, opportunity, and a sense of belonging. For many students, it is not just about what they wear, it is about the chance to fully experience a milestone moment.
