From Texas-
In the eyes of any woman, young or old, there is a checklist when it comes to a formal dance: jewelry, shoes, hair, and makeup, but most importantly, the dress.
Lufkin Middle School principal Vickie Evans said many times the financial burden of purchasing a new dress or the social humiliation of wearing an ill-fitting hand-me-down keeps some of her students from attending the annual eighth-grade dance.
Members of the St. Cyprian’s Episcopal Church youth group hope to lift those financial and social restraints by collecting formal dresses and donating them to their peers.
In conjunction with the annual Maundy projects performed by the church, LMS seventh-grader and member of the youth group, Elisabeth Alvis, went to Evans looking for a service project she and her friends could do during the two days prior to the Easter holiday.
