TRUMAN DECA CLUB holds standout prom fashion show


On February 26 Truman High School's DECA club and marketing classes hosted its annual prom fashion show.

The theme this year for prom is masquerade. Thanks to Linda Szabo, Bianca Warner, and Alexandra Rice our newly renovated little theatre was transformed into a beautifully designed runway for our models. 

The show was a great success. It started with DECA's very own Lakesha Chaffold singing the national anthem, bringing the house down with her amazing voice. From that point the emcees for the show, Bianca Warner and Alexa Bailey, took over and hosted a beautiful show. Also during the show four lucky audience members won gift certificates donated from Yazee's Boutique. Two were for $80 and two were for $60. 

Everyone would like to thank vendors Men’s Wearhouse, located at 23000 Eureka, and Yazee’s Boutique, located at 10155 Telegraph, for allowing the group to showcase their beautiful new prom clothing lines this year. Both companies have donated money to the DECA club and marketing program and are offering great promotions for this year’s prom season.

Anyone renting a tux from Men's Wearhouse or buying a dress from Yazees will receive a discount, so please see a DECA member for information on the prom program for both stores. For every tux and dress purchased for this prom season, each store will be donating $10 to the DECA club. 

Thank you’s go out to Hannah Jones for putting together the music and the administration and board office for allowing the group to have this event during school hours.

DECA wants to thank Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Wagel and Mrs. Rowlings for helping with chaperoning the event, and the Truman staff for all of their support of the marketing students. 

The marketing students put together the entire fashion show using skills and knowledge for sales, promotion, marketing, visual merchandising, organization, time management, ticket design, advertising as well as professional emails and phone calls to vendors. This was a great hands-on learning experience for the students and DECA wants to thank everyone who bought a ticket to come out and support the students.


The money raised will help send students to nationals for DECA in Nashville in April.
