PHOTOS: New Canaan High School Junior Pre-Prom 2014 at Mead Park

Print More

About 50 Junior Prom-bound New Canaan teens gathered for photos, a bite to eat and a pre-prom mixer at the Mead Park colonnade Friday evening.

Parents armed with cameras had the high school students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, pose for group, couple and individual photos on a clear, cool evening just hours after town officials had planted a new sycamore by Mead Pond about 25 yards away to mark Arbor Day in New Canaan.

For junior Julia Diaz, the prom itself is old hat—she’d been to Junior Prom as a freshman and Senior Prom as a sophomore—though this was her first pre-prom gathering. “There are so many people I don’t know. It’s kind of awkward,” she said with a laugh.

Her best friend, Shelby Haydu, said Friday’s dance was her first prom, “and I’m actually pretty psyched to do this.”

“I know a lot of these people so it’s going to be pretty cool,” she said.
