Eagle Eye Promposal Contest: An Against-All-Stereotypes Promposal

Olivia and Kelton with their promposal during sixth period Eagle Eye.

Senior Olivia Watson knew she wanted to go to prom with someone who made the night one to remember. when she was thinking of guys to go with, sophomore Kelton Raabe instantly came to mind. With the help of his classmates Lucia Isenberg and Makenna Bauer, Olivia was able to make to promposal possible. Olivia’s promposal is against all promposal stereotypes; a senior asked a sophomore and the girl asked the guy.

By combining her love for puns and subtle roasts, she made the best promposal ever. She made a poster the day before the promposal and wrote “I’m asking a sophomore to prom. Sue me. PROM?”and included a picture of the iconic Michael Scott from the hit television series “The Office” at the bottom of the poster saying “Sue Me”.
