Eagle Eye Promposal Contest: Bauer’s Flower Power

Ava and Bryce Senior Bryce Bauer and junior Ava Focht are the definition of high school love birds. For their second prom together, Bryce decided to stick close to his scavenger theme from last year.

By putting a note in her mailbox, and texting her to come to her room, he was standing there with a sign saying “Flowers are the 2nd most beautiful thing, can I go to Prom with the 1st?” while holding a bouquet of flowers.

Promposer: Bryce Bauer

Bryce Bauer: “Following the same theme as my last years promposal to her which was a scavenger hunt, I put a note in her mailbox.
