Let’s get ready for Prom the right way—connected, informed, and full of fun! Last night, Cape Assist teamed up with LCMR School District, the LCMR After Prom Committee, and Antojos Restaurant to host nearly 70 juniors, seniors, and parents for a lively Pre-Prom Trivia Night! 🎤 LCMR’s own Mr. Vitale led three exciting rounds of trivia packed with pop culture, underage drinking, and marijuana facts—empowering students with knowledge while having a blast. 🎟 The grand prize? Prom tickets, courtesy of LCMR’s Bagel Shop! Plus, thanks to the amazing Lower Cape May Regional's After-Prom Committee, every youth who attended walked away with a FREE After-Prom ticket. 🍓 A huge shoutout to Antojos Restaurant for serving up their famous açaí bowls with churros—a sweet treat for a sweet night. To all the amazing students: have a fun, safe prom! We’re here for you—and we’ll see you at After-Prom! 🎊💃🕺 📸 Check out more photos at capeassist.org/photos #CapeAssist #PromReady #CMCYouthStrong #LCMR #SafeChoices #AfterProm2025 #CapeMayCountyYouth
